The quilts you have seen are donated by Wrap-A-Smile.
Wrap-A-Smile Wrap-A-Smile was started by Terry Hodskins of the Wells Maine Rotary Club and to date over 24,700 hand-made cotton quilts have been shared around the world.
Also, on this trip, we have a Mother’s touch with Dr. Fleming’s Mother’s quilting group from her church, Colonial Church of Prairie Village, also contributing quilted blankets. Dr. Fleming has added a Mother’s touch to his patients’ care by using the quilts from Colonial Church for his patients.

These bright colored quilts are are both an emotional support and practical support, a touch of comfort as the patients go through surgery and really could use a quilt.
Thank you to our quilters!
