Help us support our vets by making a Quilt of Valor. The group will make one quilt. All fabric is provided. Just bring your sewing machine, supplies, and lots of good cheer! If you would like to learn more about Quilts of Valor, go to www.qovf.org.
Capital Quilts Cares
This program is Capital Quilts' way of reaching out to the greater community. We conduct a variety of workshops throughout the year for the benefit of others. We know that most of you already contribute time and sewing skills to many worthy organizations through your guilds and sewing groups, but even in this relatively affluent area, there are always more needs than we can imagine.
These events are always free to participants, but registration is required due to space limitations.

Do you know of a project you think we should take on? Let us know!
You can turn your love of quilting and sewing into messages of comfort, hope and love – for a foster child, a cancer patient, victims of domestic violence, and others. Every pillowcase will make a difference in our local community.
Capital Quilts always accepts pillowcases, and holds pillowcase making events from time to time. Most of the pillowcases we collect are donated to the local Ryan's Case for Smiles chapter (formerly known as Conkerr Cancer).
The American Patchwork & Quilting 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge is continuing – and they need our help to reach their goal of providing 1,000,000 pillowcases to people who need to know someone cares. The need is great. Our compassion as quilters is greater.
So far, nearly 600,000 pillowcases have been recorded on their website. For more information on the Million Pillowcase Challenge, to check the counter and download free patterns, visit the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge website.
We have delivered hundreds of placemats to Iona and other senior citizens’ centers over the past few years. They loved them and have requested more! Let’s make even more this year and brighten the lives of even more seniors. Join Laurie to make these charm square placemats. (Or, follow the directions at home and drop them off to us at the shop anytime!)
