QuiltComm: Making Quilts for Refugees & Families in Crisis
Want to sew with friends, meet new people, and spread love and warmth across the world? Come learn and share your knowledge at QuiltComm, our local and free community quilting workshop. Quilting and sewing experience are helpful, but not necessary. Anyone from ages 13 – 103 is invited. Through the help of wonderful volunteers in our community, we will have stations for each step of the quilt-making process: pressing, cutting with a rotary cutter, piecing, basting, machine quilting, and binding. We will not be hand quilting or tying quilts at this time, but there is so much more to do. Light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Time: 11:00 a.m.— 3:00 p.m.
Location: 1235 Juniper Drive
