Charity Quilting

Charity Quilting is a wonderful way to put your quilting talents to very good use to help create or finish a quilt for someone less fortunate than ourselves.

There are many organisations and groups looking for quilters with some time on their hands and some charity in their hearts to help them finish quilts for others.

Not only do you help those less fortunate than ourselves, but it is also a great opportunity for quilters to learn and expand their quilting skills without deadline pressures.

If you are interested in doing some Charity work we have a few organisations and/or groups listed for you here. Please contact the organisation/groups directly - I am sure they will be happy to hear from you.
