Quilt (18)/quilt top (11) donations for our little quilt critter project are coming in from across the US. From Mary Johnson in GA, and special monetary donation for critter supply from Suzanne. Thanks ladies! Posting photos as they are...
Also, waiting to hear back from two more police depts... East Windsor and Windsor, CT.

Some of these quilts were donated, some were made by Kathy and quilted by Nancy.
I also had a trip to Vernon (CT) police dept and Glastonbury (CT) PD, who both, are now signed on to our project of "Comfort Critters". Vernon will have 20 delivered tomorrow (thank you Lt P) and Glastonbury took 5 yesterday (thank you Officer Sharov).
These little guys never got their photos taken wrapped in their quilts.... here they are!
Today was a productive day... only 3 if us were there until Jill came by for an hour! So glad she did, as we saved her some quilting projects she was able to contribute to. Having eye issues is so frustrating... she got 8 critters wrapped up so we could put them on the altar for tomorrow's service.
The other three of us, were able to pin-baste 2 quilts that we've had, that were waiting very patiently, for their turn! Added a border on our star quilt (one half of the "Ugg " quilt- my name for it-long story), before pin-basted.

I still have Kathy's quilts (last batch) that, while stitched closed, they still need hand-quilting before wrapping. We have plenty to be Blessed -- 54.
Sad not to be able to put Officer Ron to good use, but he's healing, so we'll let it slide. Next month.
Maria had some decisions she needed help making... quilt for a neighbor.
Thank you ladies!!
Picked up three quilts from Kathy and got one more top done (me, Nancy). I'm running out of my supply of critters... guess i have to buy more (lol).
I also have five more I'm saving for my aunt to turn right side out, so I can finish them.
Thanks ladies!
Good mtg today...
Five of us there, plus a member of the South Windsor community who became aware of us thru social media and dropped off three adorable quilts. She may even join us in future mtgs. Missed our local police stopping by, but I'm sure they were busy.
Maria got her quilt pin-basted, Dee worked on her backing for her little quilt, Jane/Maria and I worked on tying/finishing several quilts.
We ended up with 45 new Comfort Critters to set up at our altar to be Blessed.
