What a Quilter!!


I got this from our nephew Adam in Atlanta. This is Gertrude Coleman, 80, who calls herself a cloth-aholic and has made over 2,000 quilts and donated them to the Atlanta Rescue Mission during the last 7 yrs. People donate cloth, clothing and many other things to her for the mission. She says the quilts aren't fancy but they are useful. She rolls them up and stuffs each with socks, religious material, a sample of candy and possibly a homemade scarf. The mission director says these quilts are bedding for about 140 men each night plus many that have been given away. This is an amazing woman!
