Working to Help Colorado Fire Victims






We know it's been awhile, but we've been busy!  Recently we were able to send 115 quilts to Indian Reservations in SD and AZ, 50 quilts to Mexico and on Thursday, June 28, we sent 45 quilts (the first of many) to Colorado Springs to aid those devastated by the Waldo Fire.

Our hearts are heavy for our neighbors who have lost so much with the many recent fires in Colorado.  Over the next month, we will focus our efforts to help those affected by the fires.  In addition to those quilts being made at Kidz Quiltz (we're open to the public for sewing Monday - Friday, from 10a - 5p), we are accepting donations of new or nearly new quilts at our facility.  These quilts/blankets will be distributed to those who so desperately need our help right now as they piece their lives back together.

For more information, please contact Wilma Hamilton at 303-857-8600.

Fly-In at Ft. Lupton Airport

Deann and Sandy taking a turn at the booth. Deann knows how to raise money to help pay off our building. Because of her and generous donors, we owe less than $4,000!

Rodger taking a break. Looks like he's enjoying his food - or maybe Lyle just made a joke.
Wilma and Roger back to work.

Kidz Quiltz had a successful Open House that we hope will be the first of many.





To date, Kidz Quiltz has distributed 1,827 quilts to children in need.


We had a silent auction to help raise much needed funds.
