History of The Quilt's N' Covers Project

In 2000 in Orlando , Florida several women got together to talk about donating covers to the Homeless and Abused Children, when we found out the average age of a child is 9 years old.  I ask them we try to collect 25 covers.  Since we did not want to limit our donations to only quilts we decided that we would pick the name of Quilts-n-Covers.  Thus collecting quilts, crocheted and knitted afghans, about this time polar fleece became popular.  This allowed everyone the opportunity to make a cover.  No sewing experience needed, and they make up very fast.  That year our International rally was in Perry , GA. where we had 803 units attending.  The ladies brought in 66 quilts-n-covers.  From here we have continued to collect these at our International and National rallies, (which are in the winter in FL., Central Southern States and Western Southern States)

From 2011 International Rally

 


Above are the pictures that were taken at the 47th International Rally held in Du Quoin, Illinois. Three hundred and ten (310) quilts-n-covers were donated along with 50 stuffed animals to the Poshard Foundation in the Du Quoin greater area. Two thank you's have been received from two of the organizations that are a part of this foundation. We met our goal of 11,010 in July, 2011. Goal for Next year's International Rally in Gillette, Wyoming is another 1000 per year. We are now at 990, more to collect.
Thanks so much to Ramblers who care about others....and have put  MANY SMILES ON MANY CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS.
