Community Quilt

CRAFT club community quilt

Seton Hill University’s CRAFT club is collecting 7 x 9 inch sections for a quilt we are creating in order to foster community unity and make a difference in our circles of influence. These segments, which we hope will be donated to us by a variety of campus and community members, can be knitted or crocheted in any patterns or style in any colors of the rainbow. They can be striped, solid, or any color pattern you choose.

When you place your donation in one of the donation boxes around campus (near the first floor Admin elevator, by Maureen Vissat’s office in Canevin, by the SHU Writing Center, or via campus mail to box 126B), please include your name, address, email address, and type of fiber used (i.e. synthetic vs. natural) attached to your segments on a 3 x 5 notecard (or similar). We will stop collecting donations on December 16th and resume when classes start again in January.

This pieces will be joined together by volunteers in December, January, and February to create one (or several!) quilts in the Warm Up America format to display on campus and then the Mustard Seed Gallery in Greensburg. The quilt(s) will then distributed via a local charitable organization or sold in order to raise proceeds for a local charitable organization. (If you are involved in a local charitable organization, please contact us!)

CRAFT invites community members to donate completed sections and/or yarn and materials and to join us on Thursday nights in A410 to learn how to knit and make segments. Also, volunteers are needed in December, January, and February to piece the quilt together.
