Community Quilts

The Community Quilts are member of a mini-group of quilters who meet in the classroom located in the back of Hancock Fabrics ~~ the First Thursday and the Third Monday of each month @ 10:00 am to 4:00 pm ~~ On the First Thursday of each month, we meet to tie quilts that have been created by our members and friends. The quilts can be made at home or by those who sew at Hancock Fabrics. On the Third Monday of each month, we meet to create the quilt tops. Creativity is the key word here. We may begin with blocks donated to us, or with a group of beautiful fabrics donated to us by our generous benefactors. The tops are created by some of us, but may be sewn by others. It is truly a community effort. What fun it is to see what develops as we use what we have to make beautiful quilts for our friends in need. Though our fabric is donated, other items must be purchased such as: thread, needles, battings, pins, tacks, staplers, etc. Desert Sage Quilt Guild provides us with funds each year to help with these costs. Hancock Fabrics generously donates the classroom space and storage area in the back of their store. Who do we Serve? The people who receive out quilts are located in the Magic Valley area. Many of our creations are given to East End Providers, CSI Refugee Center, Women's Crisis Center, Valley House, and CASA, etc.
