Charity Quilts

In the past we have donated quilts to some great charitable organizations, either for use or to be sold to raise funds. We need your help so that we can continue to help others. If you are willing to donate some of your time to help, please let us know. We have kits made up with everything needed to make either a crib or twin size quilt top.  Want to get involved?  You can simply sign a kit out and return the quilt top when you are finished! Work on it at home or bring your machine and use our workshop free of charge (please call first to check for availability). If you would like to quilt and bind some tops from our completed stack let us know and we will supply you with the necessary materials.
Thank you for your help!

Spring 2012 - 13 baby quilts were donated to Crisis Nursery, 2 Twin quilts were donated to the Food Grains Bank auction
