Quilts For Kids, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to transforming fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children in need. The children are either admitted patients in local hospitals or are temporarily living in shelters.
One Stitch, one Quilt, one Kid at a time!
The national, non-profit organization Quilts for Kids was founded in 2000 by Linda Arye when she saw large amounts of design fabric samples being thrown into landfills. She felt the fabric could instead be put to good use and, thus, started making patchwork quilts to comfort children in need.
In March 2012, Betty Conoly of Gainesville started the Northeast Georgia Chapter. By 2019, the Chapter grew from 11 volunteers to over 400. In 2022, at our 10-year anniversary, we celebrated the 7,000 quilts donated milestone! Also that year, Lisa and Mark Vieira graciously stepped in as the new Chapter Leaders. As of September 2026, the Chapter donated 13,000 quilts and continues to donate over 100 quilts per month!
We started our first workshop at First Baptist Church in March, 2012. We have grown to three workshops and are always looking to expand.
Pictured above is our St. Paul United Methodist Church team at their first workshop in 2024. Along with them, our amazing team of over 250 volunteer quilters are committed to helping provide comfort to children through donated quilts. Each quilt is custom made with love and care.
