Each year, The Quilt and Needle will sponsor two groups or charities that are in need of quilts. During the year, our patrons will work together to make quilts for these groups. The quilts will be sent to the sponsored groups as they are completed, throughout the year. The two groups that we are sponsoring for 2008 are Harmony Home of Odessa, TX and the Weslyan Native American Ministry based in South Dakota.

Harmony Home

"Every day children victimized by abuse find their way to Harmony Home. When they arrive, they find caring professionals and volunteers who devote themselves to helping children through the nightmare of abuse. Families find the support and resources they need and deserve. And, most importantly, children and their families find a place where together their healing can begin."

"For every quilt we can send, we know that at least one person will be warm, and will survive the frigid weather, when without a warm quilt, they might become just another statistic!"

Several of The Quilt and Needle's patrons have already begun to work on quilts for these two worthy groups. If you are interested in helping out with this project, we would appreciate assistance with any stage of the process. That is, if you are willing to piece a top, or piece blocks, or quilt the sandwich, or purchase supplies, etc., we have a place for you. Together, we are making a difference.
