Almost anything you are willing to make and donate, we can use to
provide warmth and color for people in need. We mostly make and donate
crib and twin bed sized quilts.
What size of quilt does Quilts From The Heart prefer?
Here are the general guidelines for the most needed quilt sizes.
Remember these are approximate guidelines and not written in stone!
PICC (Pediatric Interim Care Center): 18" x 30" or 30"
x 56"
Bassinet: 35" x 40"
Crib: 45" x 60"
Twin: 60" x 72"
Double and Queen: We don't need many of these but we'll take it if
you make it!
How can I help?
You can assist us with piecing, quilting, clerical and organizational
tasks, or fundraising events…or anything that is your particular expertise!
If you cannot make an entire quilt top, we welcome individual blocks.
Do what you feel comfortable doing. Our expectations about your participation
match your desires! Our motto is "No Pressure"!
Where can I find a pattern for making a quilt?
Feel free to gather ideas from any resource such as books, magazines
or even the World Wide Web! In the future, we plan on having some
patterns at this site for your use.
Can I donate fabric or batting?
We accept donations of batting and good quality cotton fabrics of
any color or pattern (including flannels).
Can I donate money?
Financial donations are used to purchase supplies such as batting
and fabric when donations of those materials run low. We are a 501(c)
(3) nonprofit organization therefore your donations are tax deductible
to the extent of the law.
When and where does Quilts From The Heart meet?
We have quilting groups that meet in Mountlake Terrace, Bellevue,
Long Beach and Poulsbo, Washington. You are encouraged to participate
as much or as little as you want. There is no pressure, just fun.
Our expectations about your participation match your desires! In addition,
we have two fun quilting retreats a year (spring and fall). For a
schedule meetings and retreats, please go to the Calendar
page.
