Bolt fabric boutique holds “fabric drive” for CCQ
Bolt, a NE Portland shop specializing in modern quilt fabrics, is holding a fabric drive for CCQ. The drive ends September 30th, so hurry over to their shop with your unwanted quilting cottons. Bolt is located at 2136 NE Alberta Street, Portland. Here’s a link to their website with more information about the fabric drive. Bolt has been a big supporter of our program. Last year the shop included us in their “Organization of the Month” series of fundraisers and donated a portion of proceeds from a special sale to our program.
CCQ has received a grant of $460 from the Mid-Valley Quilt Guild. MVQG established its philanthropy fund in 2010 to stimulate interest in all aspects of making, collecting, tradition, history and preservation of quilts. Grant funds come from the guild’s bi-annual pot holder projects. Mid-Valley Quilt Guild is a 300+ member guild located in Salem, Oregon where the guild offers a wide range of speaker events, classes, quilt shows, and volunteer opportunities.

An exhibit of both student- and instructor-made quilts is on display in the Narthex Gallery at St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church in Wilsonville. The exhibit stems from CCQ’s long-standing relationship with St. Francis Church. Our founder, Koko Sutton, was a member of the Church and arranged for CCQ to rent space in Wisdom House, the building that housed the original Church. CCQ continues to store the fabric stash and hold monthly meetings at Wisdom House. Narthex Gallery is open to the public Tuesday through Friday, 9 am to 2 pm; the exhibit ends October 7, 2012. St. Francis Church is located at 8818 SW Miley Rd, Wilsonville.
