The Kids Quilt Project

Janome America
Our newest sponsor donated Jem Platinum 760 sewing machines to the Kids Quilt Program. These wonderful machines will be used by many children in our area for years to come. Because the machines are portable, volunteers will be able to move them from classroom to classroom, and the results will be happy, proud faces on students who have learned to sew and make quilts!
