The fabric and batting are donated...




You can pick up a Quillow Kit at
Quilt Work Patches on 3rd Street in Corvallis




Sew up the Quillow...
You can tie it or quilt it, your choice



Return the completed Quillow to
Geary at Quilt Work Patches




Creating Quillows was our very first class at HVQ
We donated 12 completed Quillows to
The Old Mill School....8 years ago



The new school year will be starting shortly and the
children will all need a Quillow for nap time.

Won't you call Geary at Quilt Work Patches
541-752-4820
and ask her to have a Quillow Kit ready for you to pick up?

Many Thanks for sharing your heart and your hands.
