Q. Those quilts you are making for the homeless -- what's the pattern?
A. They are called "ugly quilts" and they are ugly only so they won't be something someone will want to steal from an already-vulnerable someone else. We found the pattern on the internet, but ours are unique because we use old police uniforms (pockets and all!) that are sturdy and slightly waterproof. The pattern is here. We are very grateful to The Sleeping Bag project for sharing the idea, and we'd love it if you use it too! Our finished quilts go to Street Health in Toronto. Contact the webmaster if you wish more information.
We know lots more about things, and are dying to give advice. Just ask.
