Quilt & Share Project Will Teach People with Down Syndrome to Quilt
pete
The Quilt and Share Project plans to offer people with Down Syndrome an opportunity to learn to quilt. At the same time, local Down Syndrome advocacy groups will have a unique fundraising opportunity. While quilt festivals and quilt benefit auctions are taking the country by storm, Down Syndrome groups will be getting in on the action. Special quilters will be encouraged to donate one of the quilts they make in the classes to a benefit auction for their local advocacy group.
class221.com Quilt & Share Project: Our passion at class221 is teaching people with Down Syndrome and other special needs to make small quilts, table toppers, pillows and wall quilts. Two ways to get involved:
1. You can start teaching special quilters in your own community. The introductory class will focus on developing pre-quilting skills. Intermediate and advanced classes will range from quilting pillows, 20″ table toppers, 40″ crib quilts, through 60″ square throws. (contact Quilt & Share Project)
2. You can organize a local Quilt & Share Benefit Auction to raise funds for your local Down Syndrome or other special needs advocacy group. Auction items are donated by special quilters or patrons and friends of the local chapter. (email for more information)
