Finding a Home for Your Quilts
- Contact local organizations, such as staff at domestic abuse shelters and children's aid offices. Ask if a group already makes quilts for them. Obtain the group's contact information and give them a call.
- Ask staff at local quilt shops if they know of comfort quilt groups.
- If you do not belong to a quilting guild, find out if one exists in your area and attend a meeting to ask if the group works on charity quilts.
- Watch for quilting classes held at local community colleges. Quilting teachers are often tuned-in to local happenings.
- If you cannot find a local group, start one yourself or work alone to make quilts for a reputable organization, either locally, nationally or internationally.
