Quilt tops are made from donated cotton fabric from our sponsors and the community.  A raffle and grants are used to purchase quilt batting for all the quilted items and flannelette backing for the NICU quilts.

 You don’t have to attend the Thursday sewing group to participate in Connected Threads Network. You can drop off quilt tops, finished quilts or fabric donations to help the cause.  Please see the size requirements below for finished quilts and quilt tops.
