Community Quilts

Just a few questions about your interest in and availability to sew together at Candy Store Quilting.

Hi, I'm Barb Gengler, owner of Candy Store Quilting and a member of Quilt Company East quilting guild. I have volunteered to be this year’s coordinator for Community Quilts and I wish to host gatherings in my studio in the east end of Pittsburgh (near Penn and Braddock map at bottom of Studio page).

I've chosen this year’s recipient of our quilts to be Reading Ready which supports families in fostering a love of reading, “What better way to enjoy a book than under a quilt with someone you love?” The flyer at the bottom of this page describes the organization and how it uses the quilts we will provide.

I want the monthly gatherings to be an easy event where you can just drop in, with little prep, and use my machines and equipment to create projects together. So many tasks mean you might sew, iron, cut, pin, layout, organize, longarm, bind or just cheer on your fellow quilters as we complete quilts for Reading Ready.

Please complete the simple form to help me identify, best days/times to gather, whether lack of elevator access will be an issue for you, and if you might be willing to host additional gatherings at another location.
