Shriner Sew-In - Charity Quilting Opportunity
3rd SUNDAY 1:00pm-4:00pm

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-1-kind international health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Children up to the age of 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate are eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered environment at no charge - regardless of financial need.

Every patient receives a blanket/quilt when they are admitted to the hospital, and they get to take the quilt home. Therefore, there is a continuing need for new quilts and blankets. We hope you will join us at the shop on the 3rd Sunday of every month from 1:00pm-4:00pm for "Shriner Sew-In" to work on quilts for the Sacramento Shriners Hospital. Fabrics Unlimited will donate the fabric (we also welcome any of your fabric stash that you would like to donate), but we need people who are willing to sew, iron, cut, tie, quilt, bind, etc.

Bring your machine, rotary cutters, etc, along with a potluck dish (because, of course, we have to eat when we quilt!!). If you have a friend who does not sew, maybe he/she would like to cut, iron, or tie. Opportunities for everyone! All you need is a willing spirit and a big heart!
