Merry Christmas to all and my apologies for not keeping up with the blog. I want to wish everyone a very special, happy holiday season.
I also want to send everyone a cautionary update...
It has recently come to my attention that another quilting group based out of Wisconsin is calling itself "Freedom Quilts". Please know that this Wisconsin-based group is not affiliated with our group Freedom Quilts, Inc. The organizer of this Wisconsin-based group lost her son in Iraq. True to our mission, we reached out to her and made her a personalized quilt in honor of her son. Now, her group appears to be claiming credit for this quilt and is also requesting monetary donations to their "Freedom Quilts" organization.
First of all, please know that "credit" is not important to me or to all the other volunteer quilters with our Freedom Quilts organization. What is most important is that we are able to help the people who need us most... those who need love, comfort, and the knowledge that people care.
Our organization - Freedom Quilts, Inc. - is a federally recognized nonprofit with 501(3)(c) status, and all donations go directly to making quilts for families across the country who have lost a loved one. If you or someone you know would like to support our efforts, please know that we are not the Wisconsin-based organization.
Contact information for our nonprofit, Freedom Quilts, Inc. is listed below.
