Quilting for Community

Q4C’s mission is to build community by teaching low-cost quilting and fiber arts classes in a creative, inclusive, inter-generational and multicultural environment.

We give our quilts away as a symbol of hope, peace & encouragement to those in hospitals, hospice, and shelters.

Q4C Design Center offers low-cost sewing space, quilting machine rentals, specialized classes, and discounted fabric sales.

Q4C accepts donated fabric to keep scraps out of the landfill and to generate fabric sales income to continue free and low cost programs.

Q4C & its Design Center is the hub and creative core of all our community work. It is where participants joyfully learn the art of quilting, guided by skilled volunteers and artists.

Removing cost barriers allows a sense of belonging and empowers individuals to express their creativity regardless of their economic circumstances.

The quilts are donated to people in hospice, hospitals, and shelters.

Q4C participates in community events reaching thousands of people annually. The Q4C booths feature hands-on project making, mending stations, and/or quilt and fabric sales raising curiosity and interest from persons who have never been exposed to fiber arts.
