About

Join us for a Community Sew Day – Quilting with Love! We'll come together to create warmth, comfort, and love for those in need by making small quilts for the residents of Madrona House and Fieldstone Assisted Living. These quilts will help keep patients with mobility issues warm, loved, and safe from trip hazards.

Even if you don’t sew, we welcome you to assist with tasks like pressing fabric, hand-stitching binding, or simply offering a hand where it’s needed.

This is a great opportunity to connect with others, share your skills, and make a difference in the lives of those in our community. Your participation will have a lasting impact. Let’s quilt for a cause and wrap our community in love!

For more information or questions, contact Danielle at daniellemarianiemail@gmail.com or text (480)294-3133.
