We have a group called, The Knotty Quilters, which is a branch of The Cheshire Quilt Guild of Keene NH. We gather every Tuesday, spending the day quilting and sharing. With the support from other guild members’ time and money, our group completed our first emotionally charged project. We completed two quilts and a set of curtains, transforming a room at The Cedarcrest Center. This center is a home for medically fragile children, who cannot live without 24/7 care. Some never leave this facility until they get older and are transferred to a nursing home. This facility also offers families, which never can vacation due to the constant demands these fragile children have. Many people out there don't even realize this place exists. The staff is absolutely marvelous, caring more than words can describe. There is also a teaching staff for the children, which follow the same school curriculum as our children.
This first room makeover was for a young girl. She was so excited to have her own room when she arrived at this center, we can only imagine her glee upon entering this room after our makeover. Included are the before and after pictures. The staff was overwhelmed with our generosity. We look forward to the other rooms we will be completing. They take such wonderful care of these children; they even take the time to fold the quilts each night, and set them aside, making them last for years, for the children have years of visual pleasure. They have some quilts over 10 years old, which have been kept in marvelous condition. We cannot wait to start the next room.
We walked away that day feeling blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference.
