CALLING ALL QUILTERS!!
The Stitchery and the Caledonia Quilt Guild have partnered with the Buffalo and Rochester chapters of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) to provide kids in need with quilts to go along with their new beds.  SHP (shpbeds.org) provides children in need with beds to assure that our community youth have a safe and comfortable place to sleep.  In 2024, the Buffalo chapter distributed over 1,500 beds, and the Rochester chapter did over 1,000 beds.  And the waiting list is still long.  
So, what can you do to help? If you are so inclined, make a twin-sized quilt for a child, aged anywhere from 3 - 17, boys and girls. No baby blankets or lap quilts please, just new, finished twin-sized quilts, which are anywhere from 58" - 64" wide and 72" - 80" long.  When you or your sewing group have some quilts ready, drop them off at The Stitchery and we will deliver them to both chapters of SHP throughout the year.  Yes, you have ALL YEAR to help out some kids in need!  How great is that!  
Don't think you can make a quilt?  We will also be accepting pillowcases to go along with the quilts!  The internet is full of free instruction on how to do the burrito pillowcase, which is so quick and easy....and FUN!  Make a pillowcase or two and get them to us at The Stitchery and we'll deliver those as well!
Know friends that would like to help, but don't sew?  We will happily take twin-sized sheet sets as well.  Just go to Amazon, order the sheets, and have them shipped to us here at The Stitchery, 98 County Line Road, Alden NY 14004.  We will add those to our deliveries to Rochester and Buffalo!
Are you a member of a quilt guild or sewing group?  Please pass on this information to your members so we can get as many quilts as possible into the hands of these kids who can surely use a touch of kindness and warmth.  We so appreciate you!
