Quilter leaves legacy of comfort for kids Jean Liittschwager’s three daughters were so attached to their blankets, it was hard for Jean to wash them. She came up with a solution: she cut the blankets in half, and her daughters didn’t notice each half was missing. Recognizing the bonds children develop with blankets, when Jean began volunteering with the Pioneer Quilters in 1991 and saw unused fabric available, she had an idea. Together with a friend, Jean began making quilts to give away to children who had been separated from their homes due to neglect or abuse. As a former kindergarten and third grade teacher, Jean was a mandatory reporter and saw the impact turbulent home lives had on her students. Comforts for Children has now distributed more than 30,000 quilts to at-risk youth through community service agencies such as First Place Family Center and Womenspace. The quilts are also distributed to hospitals for all children going into surgery
