Quilting Bees for Kids is a project created by Madeline. 

"The purpose of my project Quilting Bees for Kids was to make quilts for children who are entering foster care. Many kids are taken from their homes with none of their possessions. Receiving a handmade quilt of their own will give them something they can cherish and help with their transition to foster care. My leadership team and I held four quilting bees with other girls (both Girl Scouts and friends) to create 15 quilts to donate to the Bucks County Children and Youth Social Service Agency," Madeline said.
