This past Tuesday, 44 pre kindergarten Eastwood children received hand made kid quilts from the Quilting Eagles.
The 25 members of the Quilting Eagles give back to the community in many ways, this gesture is just one example. Each quilt was accompanied with a short story book that was read to the child by the quilter.
The expressions on the children faces was like Christmas morning – especially when they realized they got to not only take the book home, but the lovely quilt made just for them!
The Quilting Eagles meet twice a month and work on group projects such as making quilts of valor for the area veterans, making hero capes for children undergoing chemo therapy. We also make mittens and hats for the various angel trees at Christmas time.
