Help Make a Community Quilt!

We are stitching up some community quilts to be donated to a local charity.

Quilts made in Lockport will be donated to Haven House. Quilts made in Elma will be donated to Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

How do you participate?

• Bring a friend first of all!
• Come in either store with two 4" by 42"(WOF) pieces of quilting fabric. We will have some available for $1each if you don't have anything.
• Sit down at one of our machines and sew your fabric (right sides to right sides of quilt) to the already started quilt. Don't worry we will help if you need it!
• Turn your fabrics right sides out, put a batting strip (we will provide) in between and top stitch about 1/2 inch from your previous seam.
• YAY you're done.

Ticket to Quilt’s Virtual Shop Hops bring the charm of quilt shops from across the country straight to your screen.

Each event features a lineup of independent quilt shops, each going live on their own Facebook page during the hop. Every evening is a new stop on the journey—complete with fresh fabrics, patterns, kits, and friendly faces ready to share their shop with you.

Here’s how it works:

• Watch from anywhere. No travel necessary—just hop online and enjoy the experience from home.
•  
• One shop per night. Each participating shop takes the spotlight on their designated night, offering you a chance to explore at your own pace.
•  
• Shop, learn, and connect. Interact live, ask questions, get inspired, and support local quilt shops around the country.
•  
• Free to join. No registration required. Just show up and enjoy the ride!
•  
• Get a freebie. Each live broadcast includes a complimentary digital goodie, courtesy of My Beste Quilt Co, sent right to your inbox.
•  

It’s the easiest, coziest way to discover new shops, meet fellow quilters, and find your next favorite fabric—all without leaving your sewing chair.
