What do we do?
Currently we provide regular donations of quilts, from baby-sized to adult-sized to Comfort Cases, A Wider Circle, Project Linus, Shady Grove Hospital Pediatrics and Healthy Families Montgomery.
Quilts for premature babies (preemies) go to Children's National Hospital NICU.
Pillowcases go to Children's Hospital.
Placemats go to A Wider Circle and Meals on Wheels.
Great News! Log Jam Summer Challenge is here!
You can see all of the rules in the April Quiltline, but here are the basics:
- Make a quilt that fits your interpretation of the theme. Be creative!
- The quilt size may be 39-40” square to twin size.
- Quilts must be sandwiched, quilted and bound.
- All challenge quilts will be donated to Service Projects for distribution. We will have labels at the in-person meetings for you to take.
- Finished quilts are due at the October meeting by 7:15 pm.
- Voting will take place before the meeting and during the first 5 minutes of the break.
Yard Sale Bucks will be awarded to the three quilts with the most votes. $$$
We can’t wait to see what your imaginative spirits create. Have fun and good luck!

We know that quilters are a generous group! FSQ has a long tradition of making and donating quilts, pillowcases and other handmade items to those in need in the Washington metro area. Every year, guild members donate hundreds of items to various charities and organizations, including quilts for babies, children and teens; small quilts for premature babies; pillowcases; and placemats for senior citizens and others. In addition, we make other donations upon request of our members. Please see below for sizes and directions.
Guild members create quilts using either their own materials or with fabric that has been generously donated to the guild. Twice-monthly workshops give members the opportunity to come together and work on quilts in a supportive, relaxed atmosphere.
Do you have quilting fabric, batting or sewing supplies you would like to donate? Are you interested in joining us or want more information? Visit the Make a Donation page and we will be in touch soon.
