Comfort Quilts Comfort Quilts is the Smithtown Stitchers community service project. Our members make quilts in various sizes. The quilts are distributed to local area hospitals and organizations. The project delivers approximately 400 quilts annually. Email Comfort Quilts: quilter@smithtownstitchers.com Please put "comfort quilts" in the subject. It is a Member in good standing's obligation to complete at least one Comfort Quilt per calendar year. Please visit the Comfort Quilt table and volunteer to help. There is always a need for people to cut fabric into squares, sew squares together and tie quilts. There are kits of precut blocks ready to be sewn together. These kits can be made into lap size or twin size tops. (It's your choice) They are a great way to practice new stitches by machine or by hand, try out new threads or hone your piecing skills. The guild is also distributing quilts for babies. Neonatal quilts should measure 30"x30". These quilts must be quilted - they cannot be tied. So join in the fun, bring your machine or just volunteer to help in any way you can. MEETING PLACE FOR COMFORT QUILTERS! All members are welcome. Thank you to Beyond the Thimble for graciously offering their classroom area as a workspace for a volunteers for many years. We now have a new location for our volunteers: Saint Thomas of Canterbury Church at the corner of Brookside Drive and New York Avenue in Smithtown. Ladies meet the first Friday of every month from 9am to noon. |
