We collaborate with Quilter's Crossing Quilt Guild in Palm Harbor, FL, to complete quilts that are donated to residents of the county Sheriff's Youth Ranch. Each quilt is crafted based on the child's preferences and gifted as soon as possible after they arrive as a new resident.
Quilter's Crossing Guild also makes quilts that are given to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Victim Advocacy program. In the Pinellas County Sheriff’s jurisdiction, a Victim Advocate may be called to the scene by law enforcement to assist victims of crime and/or their families, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Victim Advocates respond to meet the immediate needs of the victim and their family. We partner with Quilter's Crossing Guild to complete quilts that are kept in the Advocate's vehicle as a comfort.
Several local Quilt of Valor groups entrust us with their quilt tops for longarm quilting, ensuring the finished quilts are ready to be presented to veterans of the United States military. We collaborate with two groups in Palm Harbor and one in Tampa.
We partner with Quilter's Workshop in Tampa, FL, to finish quilts that are donated to new residents of their Habitat for Humanity homes. Each quilt is thoughtfully designed to match the recipient's preferences and presented to them soon after they settle into their new home.

We will discuss the use of text in quilts and the many ways that this idea can be explored. For our experimentation, we will use different pens and paint markers, investigate piecing letters, and try some really crazy ideas...

For March, together we will delve into the magic of perspective and its uses in art quilting. Our practical play for this class will include paints, fabric medium, stencils and other bits of goodness!
