The Cuddle Quilt Committe make available at each meeting kits of fabric and batting for members to assemble into cuddle quilts.  There are also pieced quilts available for members to quilt.  These quilts are usually lap or crib size.  Members are encouraged to make at least one cuddle quilt per year from one of these kits or from their own fabric stash.  The cuddle quilts are then donated to local organizations and schools, as well as national and international causes.

The following dates have been scheduled for Cuddle Quilt Sew days on:

• Sat, Sep, 10 2011 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Journey Church, 450 Blue Ravine Rd, Folsom
