Quilt Donations for Western North Carolina
We have been honored to partner with Lo and Behold Stitchery in Black Mountain to collect, ship, and drive quilts to Black Mountain, NC. Brittany and her team are doing a masterful job of coordinating and supplying area communities with quilts to keep them warm as the days get cooler.
Thanks so much for your donations of quilts and shipping fees! Earlier this week, our owner Julianne drove a U-Haul full of handmade quilts and new bed pillows to Black Mountain.
Currently, they have asked that we hold off on collecting more quilts to donate while they assess the community's needs. You can keep up with our latest updates here.
Tune in to watch videos from the shop every weekday at noon, Eastern Standard Time.
Rent our Meeting Center
Ideal for quilting bees, community groups, baby showers, and more. Affordable and convenient! Rent at any time of the day or night.
Recurring and one-time rental options are available.
Your own art show!
The walls of our Meeting Center serve as our "gallery space." Have you ever wanted to showcase your quilts? Does your bee have a challenge that could inspire others? Feel free to contact us if you would like to reserve our Meeting Center for your own gallery in 2025!
