How we use donated quilting supplies:

- New or gently used items for the "Free Stuff" table available at all meetings
How do I donate?
- If you're a non-member with donation, send an email with your contact info and a description of what you want to donate to [email protected] who will route your message.
- If you're a member with a large donation, contact the President or the Charity Bee chair.
- You can bring items to a meeting and ask the person who checks you in for more specific directions.
Now Accepting Donations for the Quilt Show - Fall and Winter 2024/25
- Members are encouraged to donate new or unused quilting items to the guild, which will be used for quilt show baskets, the stash table, door prizes, and for boutique items.
- Did you know that the Quilt Boutique and raffle baskets we sell at the quilt show bring in the bulk of money needed to cover the operating expenses for the guild? For the upcoming show, we’ve added the small quilt sale, too.
- We are soliciting donations from guild members to help us stock our boutique, fill raffle baskets (we filled 13 baskets at the last show) and support the small quilt sale at the quilt show.
- At each guild meeting through February, there will be a red wagon at the door for you to place your donated items.
- Need some ideas as to what could be donated? Here are just a few:
- Small quilts/wallhangings/table runners (perimeter size limited to a total of 100 inches) -
- Fabric – fat quarters, bundles, pre-cuts of all sizes, yardage
- Tote bags, zipper bags
- Pot holders, oven mitts, aprons
- Quilt kits, small project kits, and new patterns
- Small quilty items, notions, rulers, thread
- Quilty note cards, pin cushions
- Dog collars/bandanas
- *Please ask before donating quilt books – we tend to get too many to handle.*
