Faith quilters
Third Tuesday of Each Month 10:00 am – 2:00pm | Room 100
(quilting from home is also welcome)
Faith Quilters gather for fellowship and work in Room 100 every third Tuesday of each month except December. From 10:00am to 2:00pm, we iron, cut, audition, and stitch cotton fabric for quilts. We welcome new participants, experienced at quilting or not. All piecing and quilting is machine sewn. For individuals who cannot meet during the group’s scheduled days, we can produce kits that contain fabric squares, backing, batting, and instructions for a quilt. They are available on request (see contacts below) and upon completion, can be returned to St Paul’s information desk. All of our quilts stay in the local area and are distributed here through Project Linus, a national non-profit organization with chapters in all 50 states. Over 7 million quilts, afghans, and fleece blankets have been donated since 1995.
Louisville area Project Linus quilts go to children (newborn to age 18) who are served by such organizations as Norton Children’s Hospital, The Center for Women and Families, Ronald McDonald House, and Wayside Christian Mission. Faith Quilters at St. Paul began in 2003. As of March 2025, 1,813 handmade quilts have been donated by this small group. For more information or if you want to join us, email Marg Suffill. Both women and men sewists are welcome!
Here is a sampling of the quilts they have made:
