Quilt and Care Together--The Quilt Store's charity quilting circle

CALL TO ACTION!  Once again, amazing quilters, we are looking for help with some of our charity quilts.  We have 8 tops ready to piece, 1 quilt ready to quilt, and we are looking for batting donations that will serve whole projects or that can be "Frankenbatted" (pieced) together.  :) Thanks for your help! Please email us or come into the store if you're ready to help!

We have scheduled our sewing days for the year if you would like to join us. They are July 26th, and Oct 25th. We meet at North Metro Church, 12505 Colorado Blvd from 10am-3pm. 

We donate our quilts to ABC Quilts whose mission is to give love, comfort, security, and warmth to infants, children and youth. We provide small quilts to various county and private agencies to be given to children in crisis or need. We also provide a welcoming atmosphere to our volunteers by fostering creativity, learning and the preservation of the art of quilting. Click here to learn more about this charity.
