The outreach committee holds on an “open sew” day on the 4th Wednesday of every month (see the calendar for details). These work days are always open for beginner to experienced quilters. Please plan on joining other members while you work on your own project or a project for one of the VSQ outreach committee groups.
Virginia Star Quilters donates about 100 lap quilts yearly (at Christmas time) to the Rappahannock Area Agency on Aging. The agency gives the quilts to seniors who would otherwise not receive anything at all for Christmas.
We also make walker bags, for those who may have received a quilt in the past. Directions for making a walker bag:
Virginia Star Quilters donates over 300 baby quilts a year to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Mary Washington Hospital.
