Lots of Kathy's little quilts are getting finished

 

Missing a critter that would match his fabric,  but i found one...

Just need to be tied and Blessed! The quilt above, on the left, found a dragon for its pairing...

Happy New Year-2026

 Had only 4 members for our Jan mtg, but also had a woman from our old church (St Mary's Episcopal) who offered us her recently deceased sister's quilting fabric. What a gift... we will use it gently. Thanks Loretta. 

Here are some of Kims little quilts...

Kathys quilt...

Also got to finish our purple top and pieced a backing for it. We will sandwich it next month.

Got lots of little quilts from Kathy and Kim... I'll finish them at home. Thanks ladies...

Spoke to a Lt. Parent at Enfield (CT) police dept, about collaborating with our "Comfort Critters". He's very excited and wanting to use them in conjunction with Social Services and their Domestic Abuse Shelter, besides being in their cruisers.... so he thinks 25-50 should cover a years worth. (He didnt want to be greedy,  lol). I brought him 40 critters today.

Also, spoke to Newington police who have 20 cruisers, so they would like what we can bring them.

That will be a total of 15 police depts, and 5 agencies.

Here are some little quilts made by Kim! I LOVE how bright and cheerful they are! I'll have to grab some critters when I go to church today, to match them up!

November critters done in Dec

 Finished these for Kathy, after taking a few weeks off. These will get Blessed on Sunday. 

Crazy critter donation!!

 Our thanks to the newest member of our group, Kim, who put a call out to her community for donations of critters. 3 grocery bags full plus 2 black garbage bags (one full and one half full). While some critters didnt make the final vetting (way too big or too small), we are set for quite a while!!

Brand new!

Some here didnt make it... too big!

Some too big...

MOST are too big!!

Nice haul on most of them.

More deliveries!!

 Got a chance to deliver 14 Comfort Critters to Kristen at the #newbritainpolicedept today. ...our 13th police station.

I also dropped off 15 at the Community Mental Health Affiliates, just a block away from the police station! Thanks to Deacon Jessie for recommending us to her boss, Laura. She was SO EXCITED once she saw our critters in person! Hopefully, they will bring some comfort to the clients they serve.

So far, we've given out almost 370 critters, wrapped in beautiful quilts!!!

We have about 21 in stock...

November critters

 Picked up a bunch of quilts to finish from Kathy this month. 

Also, delivering 14 critters to our 13th police station in New Britain AND visiting the Community Mental Health Affiliates (also in New Britain, CT) to see if what we offer can be useful to those they serve.

Here are some finished (so far)...

We have some time off until 2026, so no rush on getting any of these done....
