Big Mamas Legacy
Stitched with Love

Big Mamas Legacy, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization devoted to providing hand-made "hugs" in the form of quilts to children and adults in need, honors the memory and generous spirit of Big Mama, my Great-Grandmother Emily Colleen (Davis) Shanks. Big Mamas Legacy carries on the tradition of giving hand-made stitched items to children in need as well as providing opportunities for others, even non-quilters, to contribute their talents, time, and skills to the cause.
