Quilts for Kids, West Chester group

“Affiliated with the national Quilts for Kids organization, our West Chester group has been meeting for almost five years. We meet once a month, with about 20-25 quilters visiting each time, although we have over 75 volunteers on our email mailing list. It’s a wonderful group– just last month we brought 65 quilts to Quilts for Kids headquarters for future distribution. We take preemie quilts to the neonatal unit at Chester County Hospital right here in our hometown also. Our group shares fabrics and ideas. Quite often, one person teaches a new technique. During the meeting, some people sew and others just stop in to drop off what they have made during the month since the last gathering. We do this to help young people–every person in our group feels so good about helping others in need. So many families are hurt by their children’s illnesses and injuries. These quilts are one small way we can lift them up.” explained Carole Koroluck.
