Posted in Quilting News on December 2nd, 2010
The final twin-sized “BOY” quilt that was assembled and bordered by Debbie Peyton, quilted by Ann Randolph and bound by Marty Laney was delivered by Ann Randolph, Rosemary Lynch and Shirley Peterson to the Donor Appreciation Night of Veterans Sanctuary in Allentown on November 4. This facility is a retreat to provide therapy, counseling and job procurement for men and women veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and addictions linked to PTSD. The facility will open in January 2011 with a 30 bed capacity to be increased to 60 beds at a later date. The goal is to provide a handmade quilt for each of the 30 beds by the opening date. The quilt donations can be made individually or through a Quilt Guild. Contact Wendy Tracy at wentracy@PTD.net if you have a quilt to donate. The quilt must be a full twin bed size (63” X 87” – 65” X 95”).
