I was only one of the quilters, not a presenter, but our guild decided to make quilts for the children of women who were incarcerated in the local prison. At first no prisoner would fill out an application as they were skeptical that anyone would make something for them without asking for something in return. Once one woman did, the rest reluctantly followed. We were only given the age, sex and favorite colors or interests of their children, as the prison agreed to mail for us to protect individual privacy. A few guild members, after going through security, were ushered into a room where the recipient's mothers were gathered for a sneak peek of their children's quilts before mailing. As each was called up they were in awe. Some cried and some didn't want to even touch the quilts for fear of getting them dirty. I was so glad we succeeded in making Christmas better for both Moms and kids.
