Concord Piecemakers Community Service
Quiltathon:
Our annual February meeting is devoted to creating quilts which will provide comfort to those in homeless shelters, cancer patients, victims of fire and domestic crises, and others. Those quilts which are not finished during our day-long Quiltathon are passed to our comfort quilt groups which meet once a month.

Comfort Quilts
Throughout the year, members meet to work together on Comfort Quilts. Fabric is donated by members and by helpful quilt shops. Groups meet either in the morning or evenings on a monthly basis. Also, kits are made up and completed by the rest of the membership at home. Between the Quiltathon quilts and those made by the comfort quilt groups during the year, 100 quilts annually are donated to charity.
We currently have 3 comfort quilt groups: one meets in the morning, another meets in the evening and a third emphasizes machine piecing and quilting. Please see the latest newsletter to determine the meeting days, times, and places.
