THE COMMUNITY
QUILT

We're kicking off our 9th year of The Community Quilt Project with our Fall Block Drive!

​

How it works:

Between October 15th and December 15th, sew and drop off blocks for the quilt. We request that blocks follow these guidelines:

-at least 13" x 13" (experienced quilters can trim to 12.5" x 12.5")

-all one color way (very important for cohesive quilts)

-improv in style. No traditional blocks please!

​

You can drop them off at the studio during our class hours or feed them through the mail slot. 

​

Our 2026 Block Drive Goal is 300 blocks! (Last year we received 250). You can enter your block pledge below!

​

​

What happens next?​

Beginning in January we collect donations of batting, backing, and binding fabric.

​

At the end of February we host a Community Quilt Day where we begin to assemble all the quilt tops and quilt sandwiches.

​

By the beginning of March volunteers have quilted and bound the quilts! They are returned to the studio for labels and final look over.

​

In April, we will meet at Morley Elementary playground for our Quilt Hanging Send-Off! Afterwards, the quilts are delivered to Journey Home who in turn brings them to their clients who are transitioning out of homelessness.

​

It takes many, many hands to bring a project this size to life and we are so grateful for everyone! Whether you sew blocks, donate supplies, or spread the word-- we couldn't do it without you!
