Project Linus and Fidget Quilts Update

We are once again accepting quilts for Project Linus!  Donna has graciously offered to pick up Linus quilts once a month to take up to Portland for us, which is absolutely wonderful.  If you're unfamiliar with Project Linus, or want to learn more about how to donate and what the parameters are, you can rad all about it on their website here: Project Linus Official Website

Fidget Quilts are also back every Third Friday of the month from 1pm-3pm!  You do not need to sign up and all supplies (except sewing machine) are provided.  A Fidget Quilt provides sensory and tactile stimulation for people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, who may be on the Autism Spectrum, or people with other similar conditions.  These quilts are made to sit on the lap and have a variety of textures to keep hands busy.  Visit the shop on Third Fridays to learn about these and where they go from the group! 

Project Linus Update

For many years, The Cotton Patch has been proud to be a drop off site for Project Linus.  However, effective 7/3/20, we are no longer a drop site.  The Project Linus Chapter we have been working with serves the Portland and Vancouver area, and there are many drop sites closer to their service area. 

If you want more information about Project Linus and what they do, check out their website: www.projectlinus.org 

These kids need the comfort of a quilt, and we hope you continue to donate to them whether we are your chosen drop site or not - it's a wonderful and very needed cause and we all know quilters have the giving hearts to make it happen.
