Hi, this is Wilma, founder and President of Kidz Quiltz. Thanks for following our blog. It has really expanded around the world since we started. We are growing at Kidz Quiltz. In January we shipped 100 quilts to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The winters there can be brutal. Other quilts went to local kids before Christmas. Our total now is 3,833 quilts for kids. including Eastern Europe in 2009, Haiti in 2010 and Joplin, MO in 2011. We will have a quilting day at Fort Lupton, CO all day March1oth. at Kidz Quiltz.
We have a new chapter started in September in Arnold MO. Our new chapter run by Rachel Arnold will have their first big quilting day on February 18th at the Arnold Rec Center.

Our goal is to have 12 new chapters in different states and give 1,000 quilts in 2012. If you, or someone you know would be interested in working with Kidz Quiltz e-mail us at kidzquiltz@yahoo.com
Thanks for your support and interest in helping kids that are less fornunate.

Taking 105 quilts to Joplin

In September, Lyle and Wilma Hamilton loaded up 105 quilts to take to the Joplin area that had been devastated by the tornado earlier in 2011.

The quilts went to Rural Compassion where Steve Donaldson was their to receive these quilts and help distribute them to families in need.
