You may have seen the first photos on our Facebook pages. We funded $3K in supplies for this first delivery, knowing that there is much more to be done for the long recovery.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/?fn=nl_20170909194602\">our blog<\/a>, I posted a link to a list of organizations who we trust to take donated funds and put them to work immediately for those most in need in Texas. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/helping-texas-flood-victims.html?fn=nl_20170909194602\">find that list here<\/a>. It is hard to know where the need will be greatest after this weekend&#8217;s latest hurricane, so stay tuned for our Quilt Drive&#8230;but right now these folks need disaster relief.<\/p>\n<p>Quilts Inc says that the the show will go on &#8211;
