Tonight, a lot of people are going to be wrapped in the warmth of quilts lovingly made by 92-year-old Fern Glass.

As of her birthday Jan. 29, 365 more people are able to bundle up in her handiwork.

"I'm delighted," Glass said Tuesday morning. "It's something I can do. I'm giving, and I receive a lot of pleasure from it. I'm glad it's doing some good somewhere. They're all unique and the fabric speaks to me."

Glass made it her goal to present 350 quilts to the nonprofit Newby-ginnings of North Idaho by her birthday. The quilting overachiever exceeded this goal and presented 365 quilts to Newby-ginnings, which will distribute them to veterans, active military and their family members.

Navy veteran Warren Castor received a care package from Newby-ginnings executive director Theresa Hart when he was in the hospital, "and one of these quilts," he said.

"I was really touched," Castor said. "It’s odd in this world that there’s somebody that will do that. That’s such a huge number. People won’t even open a door for a woman, and here’s a woman that makes 365 quilts? It’s craziness.”

Glass has been quilting since 1980 and sewing since she was 9. Simple quilts take her about a day to make, while more complex pieces take a couple days.

"I always sewed clothes and things like that," she said. "Then I learned how to quilt and I really enjoyed it.”

Part of the impetus for Glass' quilt-a-thon was to use her up her "stash" of fabric. A bathtub in her house is presently full of fabric and backing, as are other nooks and crannies.

"I have more fabric than I have ever had,” she said, smiling. “I’m sure I could just quilt for a year and not get any more fabric."

Glass has been working with Newby-ginnings for four years. She learned of the organization through a quilting group friend who worked as a volunteer.

Her late husband served in the Navy. The military tradition in her family also includes her brother, father and son and ancestors going back to the Revolutionary War.

Hart said she gets a lump in her throat discussing what Glass' quilts mean to Newby-ginnings and those it helps. She said many of the quilts have gone to newly housed vets who were recently homeless, living on the streets or couch surfing.

"They finally get into a new home and they’re moving in with nothing," she said. "We’ll try to get them as much stuff as possible for their new homes and we always give them one of Fern’s quilts because this is something new for their home. They can start their new life in their new home with some dignity."

Glass has embarked on yet another quilting quest: 400 quilts by summer.

“I hope to get 400 by summer, which I think I will,” Glass said. That leaves 500 by Christmas. That’s what I do, I love to sew."
