East Iowa Heirloom Quilters

Share Our Skills

Share Our Skills (SOS) volunteers make about 400 quilts each year which are given to charity. Members are encouraged to donate time, fabric, batting, completed tops and quilts. Check the Calendar for times set aside to tie and piece quilts for SOS. There are also SOS kits made up of donated coordinating fabric which may be picked up at the meetings and returned when completed.
