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.

Paying Off our Building

In late September 2011, Kidz Quiltz made its final payment on our mortgage. The building is officially ours! You may remember the photo on our blog of the piano for sale. Well, the piano sold and that money went to good use in helping us make that final payment.

Matching Fundraiser !

Exciting News! Until December 10th, an anonymous donor has agreed to match all funds raised for our building up to $5,000! This is incredible. We owe approximately $15,000 on our building we just purchased in September. This would take a big chunk out of that. Our goal is to finish 2009 debt free. Would you please consider helping us reach that goal? Make your tax-deductible gift to Kidz Quiltz and send to the address listed. Call us if you have any questions, (303) 857-8600.
