***** Quilts of
Hope *****
Quilt makers nationwide are reaching
out to families affected by the devastation from
hurricane Ike by offering their love through quilts
that they have made -- what we are calling "Quilts
of Hope". Quilts are being collected by Quilts 'N
Kaboodle in Bacliff and being distributed throughout
Galveston County as they arrive. Your quilt was made
by.... wouldn't you love to have your name here?
knowing that you were making a difference, one quilt
at a time?
