The Charity Sew-In is moving to Saturday instead of the typical Thursday evening.  Signup at the January 8th guild meeting (NOTE: this is the second Thursday given the New Year's holiday).

This annual event is always a ton of fun and very productive.  If you have never been to one of these sew-ins, it;s time!

Since 1988, BPQ members have made quilts for children staying at Ronald McDonald House while being treated at Seattle Children's Hospital.  Each child gets to choose their own quilt and pillowcase when they move in.  Every holiday season BPQ members provide quilted holiday stockings for the children at Ronald McDonald House.

BPQ also provides quilts to Evergreen Hospice, KidVantage (formerly Eastside Baby Corner) and Swedish Palliative Care of Issaquah.  The Harborview Pediatric Burn Center was added to our recipient list in 2024.  They offer the highest level of critical care for children with trauma, which often results from car crashes, burns or falls.  Treehouse is another organization we added in 2024.  It has become Washington's leading organization addressing the academic and other essential supports of youth in foster care.

The Charity team makes sure your quilts go to the right organization!  For more information email them at Charity@blockpartyquilters.org.
