Volunteer Testimonials

I have been part of Connected Threads Network Inc. for twenty-four years and enjoy meeting with fellow quilters who are upbeat and willing to share their skills and knowledge. Although we are from diverse backgrounds and occupations, we share one goal – to create quilts that provide comfort and hope to people facing adverse circumstances. Darlene

I started quilting by making a baby blanket for our neighbors’ newborn son. I enjoy making quilts for younger people. I’m not interested in making fancy quilts. I like doing quilts that have animals, vehicles and birds of all kinds. I have met a lot of people at Connected Threads Network Inc. I will help set up and take down the quilt racks when I can. I guess I just enjoy being there. Jerry

I joined the group two years ago. I became a member because - I love to sew quilts - I enjoy being able to help other people - I love the fellowship in the group Tammy
