Sewing & Quilting
Join us at the Volunteer Center on Tuesdays in January as we finish hand-quilting the donation quilt AND as we begin working on the nap-time quilts for the pre-K children who don't have blankets for nap-time. In 2009, we provided around 150 quilts to 3 and 4 year olds who didn't have a blanket for nap-time.

S.T.A.R.S. Annual Quilt Drawing - April 30, 2010
Each year S.T.A.R.S. has a drawing for a quilt. The 2010 quilt has been assembled and we are hand-quilting it in January, 2010. The pattern is called "Magic Triangles." Each year a quilt is donated by the Sew 'n' Sews.. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted. Proceeds will be used to support the program.
The 2005 quilt (pictured at right) was 108"x108" (king size) and named "Star Light, Star Bright" as a result of it's patchwork of stars. The 2006 quilt was called "Confetti" because of the multi-colored tiny patches. The 2007 quilt was a "Flying Geese" pattern and 2008's quilt was a "Trip Around the World" design. We were unable to put together a quilt for 2009, but watch for the 2010 quilt!!!

If you would like to help with the next quilt please contact us. We will be quilting in the Volunteer Center at various times throughout the year.
