OTHER ACTIVITIES AT IN STITCHES

Quilts of Valor
Quilts of Valor (QOV) are quilts made for the soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can go to the web-site: www.qovf.org to learn more about them. I will provide the fabric, backing and batting to you at 50% off. If you have fabric you want to use, I’ll still provide the backing and batting at 50% off to you. 

Carolyn provides the quilting, you’ll bind, launder, label the quilt and make a pillowcase. When completed, bring it back to the shop and we will take care of the shipping.

Quilts are in great demand, so if you can help out with one, it will be greatly appreciated!

Million Pillowcase Challenge
Million Pillowcase Challenge
We are participating in the Million Pillowcase Challenge sponsored by American Patchwork and Quilting. So far, we have donated a total of 65 pillow cases to Rushville’s Victim’s Assistance and Hope House in Greenfield. The pillowcases can be made for children, men and women. They should be full size. If you need a pattern, we will be happy to provide one.

You can also go to www.allpeoplequilt.com to get more information on the project.

  • Wash and dry with unscented laundry products
  • Pressed
  • Placed in a quart size resealable plastic bag
