Part of our mission at The Sewing Labs is to build and support our community. The Community Quilt Projects makes this happen. Each quarter we choose a project to work on for the community. For example, quilts for babies, kids or others in need. Pillow cases for children or senior centers. Projects will be made in the Lab or off - sight with a rally day per quarter to gather together and present the items to the community partner. We welcome individuals, women's groups, kids groups. This is a great opportunity for your group to use this as your own service project. Or we can work with your group to create one for you. Community Projects is usually scheduled bi-monthly with a Rally day each quarter.
