COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS

Quilt to Give, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. daily in the Atrium

Last year at Quilt Expo, 15 bed-size quilts were generously donated to the Quilt to Give community service project. Plus an additional 12 quilts were stitched and completed by Quilt Expo attendees. All of these quilts were donated to Enchanted Makeovers and Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS).

Baby Lock will again sponsor Quilt to Give in the atrium. Here are three ways you can participate: 1—Plan a 1/2-hour or more of time to sit, sew and give. 2—Donate fabric in bright colors (1/4 yds. or more)—fabric coordinates are welcome. 3—Donate a new bed quilt.

Want to review the quilting process ahead of time, or see what type of fabrics to donate? Go to nancyzieman.com/blog and click on the "Quilt to Give" tab. You'll see the process in 10 easy steps.

Bringing Hope 2 Others Blanket Drive, during show hours in the front lobby

Please join us for the debut of our newest community service project. We're partnering with the non-profit organization, Hope 2 Others, to collect blankets, afghans and quilts that will help mothers and babies survive hypothermia in Eastern Africa.

Here's how you can help: Make or purchase a 36-40 inch square baby blanket, afghan or quilt. At Quilt Expo, deliver your blankets, afghans and quilts to the Hope 2 Others booth, which will be located in the front lobby. If you're not attending Quilt Expo, please ship your blanket, afghans and quilts to arrive by Sept. 1, 2017, to: Blanket Donations / Nancy Zieman Productions, LLC / 211 Corporate Dr., Ste.
