Cradle Quilts

The Cradle Quilt program makes small doll quilts throughout the year. These quilts are wrapped around dolls and then given out at Christmas to children in the San Joaquin Valley.  Porterville Quilters works with the San Joaquin Valley Fine Woodworkers on this project.  Participants meet the fourth Tuesday of each month at Calico Mermaid to work on the doll quilts.  A "Pot o' Gold" raffle is held at the general meeting in March and September to help pay for the expenses of this program. All are welcome to attend the workshops. It's a fun, quick project and provides an opportunity to build your skills.

Little Quilts


Little Quilts is a charity program where participants get together to make little quilts and get to know the members and ladies who are interested in making little quilts.  The size is 40"w x 50"L.
We learn new techniques and work on projects that are interesting. Kits are available to those interested to work on at home.
In 2021 Little Quilts donated 242 little quilts to Family Crisis Center; Cancer Center and Dialysis.  A raffle and workshop is held twice a year; one in the spring and one in the Fall.
Little Quilts meet every other Tuesday from 9:30 to 12:00 at Hillside Church 2091 El Linda Vista Ave., Porterville, California 93257
"Lots of fun ~ come and join us".

 

Local Heroes
The Local Heroes participants make quilts for our local heroes (veterans).  A workshops is held in July to make the quilts, and individual quilters make them on their own or in teams.  If you know a veteran who would like to have one of these quilts please contact please contact Sheri Cates to have their name placed on the recipients list.  The quilts are distributed in the order in which they are placed on the list.  This is a perfect way to honor veterans of our community who have served our country.
