| What kind of quilts do you need? |
| |
All kinds! Donated quilts are given to babies, children, teens, women and men. |
|
| What size quilt should I make? |
| |
Quilts are generally twin-sized or smaller. Honestly, however, we can find a home for almost any size quilt you want to make. If you come by a larger top, perhaps it can be re-sized into two quilts.
Some Standard Sizes:
Preemie: 24x24", 18x18"
Baby: 36x36, 52x52
Toddler: 42x60, 48x60
Wheelchair: 38x47
Twin: 64x72
Patriotic Quilts: at least 52x68 |
|
| Can I donate a used quilt? |
| |
Sorry, but no. Quilts must be new and clean. |
|
| Quilted or tied? |
| |
Very few agencies can take tied quilts, so we are not asking for donations of tied quilts at this time. However, tufted quilts are welcome because they do not have strings that can become loose and possibly be "eaten." |
|
| Where do I get those cool MVQG labels? |
| |
The labels are always available at the guild meetings. They are also available upstairs at Whitlock's Sewing Center on Court Street on Wednesday mornings. |
|
| Do you only ned children's pillowcases? |
| |
We can use them for children and teens as well as adults. |
