Thank You Notes and Letters to the Guild
Hi, Great to meet you all from the Northern NM Quilt Guild today!
Some feedback from clients on the quilts:
A client with a child on the spectrum picked out an adorable pumpkin print child’s quilt – and stated that he loves pumpkins, and this will be so wonderful – because “there’s really not much for him for Christmas this year.’
Client stated he was so happy to wrap up in it! A client in a domestic violence situation stated she has not purchased new bedding in years and was in tears when receiving her quilt. The trees on it gave her “a peaceful feeling”.
I just gave away one of the large quilts you gave us today to one of our youngest clients, a 4 year old who loves cats! She was delighted!! Here’s the quilt pictured in our clinical playroom.
You asked for the quantity of quilts-- our best guess would be to have 1-2 quilts per Clinician to give a way a month. We are absolutely happy to receive whatever is possible to give! There are 6 clinicians- and average 12-20 clients per week; many are consistent clients with new clients added as we are able from our waiting list. So 75-100 quilts a year? We are delighted with the 2 dozen you gave us at Christmas! Again, we are grateful for any amount – please know that DO make a difference in the lives of our clients… to feel the love that is put into them. Warmly, Melissa Smith, MA, LMHC Solace Sexual Assault Services

From Kitchen Angel's VP of Philanthropy, Dwayne Trujillo:
"Please tell the other amazing quilters we are eternally grateful for their hard work and dedicated efforts. Our clients calls us every year to tell us they absolutely love the placemats.
Please see attached pics from last year. We fold the placemats in horizontal half and wrap them in cellophane with a ribbon. Everything is wrapped perfectly to fit in the box.
All 200’ish of our clients receive a Holiday gift box which includes a placemat and a variety of goodies."
