    Take part in creating the 2028 Opportunity Quilt!

    We are using the Alaska” pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts, by Edyta Sitar. The pattern is based on a kaleidoscope block in variations. No foundation or paper piecing, and no Y-seams. The patchwork blocks can be sewn by anyone comfortable with sewing straight lines.

    Fabric pieces will be pre-cut for the participants for consistency and to minimize errors. Just sew the blocks together and assemble the top in a few sessions at the farmhouse. All materials are provided and pre-cut into kits—we just need your help sewing them together! No special techniques are required -- just straight stitching -- so all skill levels are welcome.

    Come for the sewing, stay for the fun and camaraderie! Whether you’re an experienced quilter or a beginner, your contribution will help bring this colorful creation to life.

    What to Bring: Your sewing machine, light gray or white thread, and basic sewing/quilting supplies.

    Extras: A light lunch will be provided.

    This is the first of three sessions. Click on the links below to register for the other upcoming sessions:
