Donation Quilts

 

Members are encouraged to make tops and complete quilts at home to be donated to LifeMoves, a nonprofit committed to ending the cycle of homelessness for families and individuals in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. The requested size is twin size (approximately 65" x 80"). Members also have an opportunity several times a year to work at PQ-sponsored Bee Charitable Days where quilt tops are assembled or bound. Quilt tops are sandwiched with batting and backing fabric and machine quilted by PQ members.

Infant Baby Quilts

​

Members make little quilts from their “stash” to be donated to families in need. San Mateo Health Foundation can take about 20 quilts a month for the Bundle of Joy program for local families. We also give additional quilts to Loved Twice, a non-profit charity that supports disadvantaged babies in the greater Bay Area. Quilts should measure no smaller than 30" on a side and no more than 45" per side. Quilts must be pre-washed prior to your donation to remove any potential contaminates. Flannel backs are nice, but not required.
