A Picture Tells a Story.... (June 2008)

Quilts for Kids recently delivered a bundle of quilted love to New York's Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York's Presbyterian. Here are some photos of that delivery.

In a Thank You letter from Child Life Specialist Elizabeth Olsen, we learn that the quilts have been distributed in the Hematology, Oncology, Pediatric Intensive Care and Newborn Intensive Care Units where "the quilts especially bring color and tenderness to the many infant isolettes." She notes that the quilts will become the children's "favorite blankets to snuggle with." View the full letter (PDF)
