Ok, this is FAR from quilting, but I figured maybe somebody here could help us out.
Thomas and I have been collecting the state quarters and somehow we are WAY behind. If anybody has any of the following (don't care what mint they came from), I would be willing to trade for them.
from 2005: Kansas Minnesota California
from 2006: South Dakota Colorado
On another topic, as you know, I am doing Blankets of Hope for SOldiers Angels. A mass email went out from their head office that there is a desperate need for blankets, watch caps, and sweats for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. If anybody can or wants to help, I would be more than willing to collect whatever you can contribute. The watch caps are just the plain knit caps, in either black or olive green. The sweats they are asking for are either in sizes large or extra large, and preferably in dark colors. The blankets can be the no-sew fleece ones, or pieced tops with fleece backing, OR whole-cloth tops with fleece backing.
Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if you would rather send directly to the camps/bases, I can give you the contact information for the Cmdr. that is doing the collecting.
Thanks for letting me ramble,
Larisa
