A basic tutorial of how you construct these sleeping bags would be awesome!! Others could then become part of, or join others, in this brilliant and compassionate upcycling. compassionate move
There is no ugly Quilt given with love and care 💖 A Quilt always warms body and soul.
You can ask furniture stores for the fabric store books of fabric or discontinued sofa etc fabric .. they are happy to part with those books .. we make over night bags with smaller books of them .. s
Sometimes even fabric manufacturers will give you samples or bolts of discontinued fabrics as well ..
keep up your good work .. I m sure you are doing a great service to your community.. you are loved also ... ❤️👍
They are beautiful! ...because they are made with love
This is so so awesome! My hats off to you beautiful ladies. I myself make "Hats for the homeless" each year is to have 150 hats ready to go by October. Even though we are in Florida, the nights are very chilly in the winter time. I am 72 years of age and homebound so this gives me something to do that makes me feel like I am helping someone. Your sleeping bags are just beautiful. This gives me an idea of something I can do also on my own to be a part of "People helping People". Thank you for your inspiration. Hugs and blessings to you all.
I always wonder what the recipient does with the winter items when summer comes. I make gats and gloves for the homeless and think about a collection event so they aren’t carrying them around all summer. Could be washed, sanitized and redistributed when fall comes.
I cried. Thank God for gentle souls like you. Having experienced homelessness as a result of the economy at 74 I was not treated with such kindness. Am educated but made a very poor investment. Life is not always kind. Was so humbled listening to the stories of the young people. You ladies are like a warm blanket wrapped with love
My family and I have been there ( 1 paycheck ahead of homelessness). Children never knew how close we were. My husband and I are both college educated and our sons are too. We are ok now, thank God. It was frightening then and things are still frightening, but we persist. Good retirement if no tragedy occurs.
👍 thank you very much so heartwarming 💝💝💝👏👏glad to know we still do have caring angels who care about the less fortunate 😍🤗🤗May the good Lord Bless you and your family..Love from 🇫🇯 Fiji.🙏🙏💯
What a beautiful gesture ! 👍🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
May the Lord bless you and the people who receive this gift from your hearts!
Gd bless the hard working women who put these treasures together.
This warms my heart...I am sure the recipients REALLY appreciate the efforts of ALL who have played a part in making this happen❤
Love the caring and time spent to help the homeless. I donate to the homeless, because anyone can become homeless in a split second. We need more people helping them survive. Bless you ladies..
Thank you ladies! I too make quilts, hats,scarves for the homeless! How large are the quilts you make? Mine are just to fit over feet to chin. I love the the idea and rolling with hat socks etc.
I am humbled to have watched this beautiful kind work given to the homeless. God Bless you. Monica from Australia

How do I get you some quilts I make. I need an outlet for mine I sew twin size tops and put either fleece or flannel backs and tie quilt them.. I also crochet afghans about twin size. Like I said just need outlet for these.
I’m sure you could contact the St Paul’s United Methodist Church on their website or contact Friendship House on their website, they list their information at end of video.Most shelters would love to receive more quilts or donations.
This is awesome and gave me a great idea to help.
Awesome idea! Thank you for sharing and caring for others in need!
Thank you for your Kindness
How wonderful
Can you share the pattern we have homeless here too
I would like more info as well.
This was doing so well until you added the 'literature'
Why no literature? Just wondering? ❤️😀
@@rachelburgener819 when good wishes come with proselytising, I doubt the motives of the giver
I’m not sure what the meaning of that word is.❤️😀
@@rachelburgener819 "to induce someone to convert to one's faith"
Okay I got ya... I’ve never heard that word and thought auto correct might have taken over😝well I guess on the bright side, they have a gift they might not have otherwise had. ❤️😀
