Who we are

A circle of hands and hearts

For over three decades our members have gathered to piece, quilt, and laugh together. From first-time beginners to award-winning makers, everyone has a seat at the frame.

We meet monthly to share skills, swap fabrics, and finish each other's projects — friendship is the thread that holds us together.

Workshops & meetings

Grow your skills or share your wisdom

Each meeting features a demo or workshop — from foundation paper piecing to hand quilting, free-motion to color theory. Bring a project or just your curiosity.

Guest teachers, retreats, and open sew days keep the whole year full of things to make.

Community donations

Warming our community, one quilt at a time

Each year our members stitch comfort quilts for local hospitals, shelters, and family programs — thousands donated since 1995.

Donate fabric, fund batting, or join a sew day. Every yard helps someone feel held.
