Kids Quilt, Too

Along with their academics, a group of students at H. Frank Carey High School in Franklin Square, NY, is learning how to give back.  Under the tutelage of Monica Colletti, one of their parents, they’ve learned to knit, crochet and to quilt.  To put their new-found talents to work, they chose Quilts for Kids as their quilting project.  During their personal time, the students dedicated themselves to quilting for children in hospitals, enthusiastically giving of themselves to bring warmth and comfort to children who are ill.

Along with the cowboy quilt received at QFK headquarters, school psychologist, Jeannine Bergen, enclosed a note.  “This blanket is a work of love….We hope to make more ‘Quilts for Kids’ as the year progresses!”

These young people have made a difference.  Soon this quilt will be wrapped around a child who has enthusiastically chosen it from all the others.
