One of the following projects will be available each charity craft session. We cannot guarantee a specific project. No experience necessary. There are different tasks necessary that don't require a sewing machine if you would like to volunteer without sewing.

Machine(s) provided as well - please complete registration. You are welcome to drop in if you bring your own sewing machine.

Port Pillows:
Patients getting chemotherapy often have long-term ports that are located where seatbelts land causing great discomfort. These port pillows provide a cushion between the port and the seatbelt. Port Pillows finish at approximately 3in x 4in and can be made from yarn or fabric.

All supplies provided, though any fiber fill or batting donations would be gratefully accepted. Participants can use any 100% cotton fabric. 

No experience necessary. These pillows take 15-20 minutes each to make even if you've never sewn before. Knit or crochet pillows will take around 1.5-2 hours if maker is experienced.

My 12-at-a-time tutorial to make 12 in about 2 hours is available here: 12-at-a-time port pillow pattern.

Quilts:
Join us to make a community quilt. No experience necessary. 

We will work together as a community to make a crazy or scrap quilt that will be donated to Sleep in Heavenly Peace. We have LOTS of scraps - so many we have made several quilts (and there's still lots of scraps)!!! 

Sleep in Heavenly Peace provides beds and bedding to children who have none. Volunteers build and deliver the bed, then dress it in sheets, pillowcases, and a quilt to children in the community.

Quilt top(s) will be considered completed when the size is approximately large enough to cover a twin bed or 56in x 84in. Any quilt top(s) completed here will be finished by adding batting and backing and using yarn to tie the top, batting, and backing together in several places. We bind these quilts with satin blanket binding.

Donations of batting would be gratefully accepted.
