FSCJ VISION EDUCATION AND REHABILITATION
We are pleased to be supporting the Vision Education & Rehabilitation Center for adults and high school students with blindness and visual impairment. This program offers specialized training to gain the necessary skils to gain independence in the home, workplace and community. This program is offered at the FSCJ downtown facility and trains 300 students annually.
Each year Quiltfest conducts an auction of small wall hangings, doll quilts, and pillow covers(new) meeting the following guidlines:
1. Size: equal or less than 24 inches on any side.
2. Note: orphan block or single blocks do not do well in this auction.

Me Dolls
Me Dolls are delivered to Nemours Children’s Specialty Care and Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville, and Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando. Me Dolls are simple muslin dolls given to patients to use for locating the “hurt” areas, and for doctors to use in explaining the child’s surgery or treatment. The dolls are made without facial features, allowing each child who receives a doll the opportunity to draw a face on it. Members of our quilt guilds and show attendees have been sewing and donating Me Dolls since 2005.

Ryan's Case For Smiles
A goal of Ryan’s Case For Smiles is to provide children with cheery pillowcases to brighten their hospital stay. Over the years, Ryan’s Case has delivered two million (and counting!) pillowcases throughout the country.
