HUGS Harvey Help
Our charity quilting group, HUGS, has begun a massive effort to make, collect, and distribute quilts and blankets to the victims of Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath.
We are accepting donations at Quilt Haus.  Items needed include finished quilts, batting, quilt tops, backing fabric, orphan blocks, long-arm quilting thread, etc.  We are donating our available classroom time and time to provide a work, temporary storage, and staging area for this effort.  We are also donating time on our HandiQuilter long-arm systems for qualified quilters to help us quilts the many, many tops we have already received.
Donations can be shipped to: 
Quilt Haus, ATTN: HarveyHelp
651 N Business IH35, Ste 510
New Braunfels, TX 78130
Hands-on help is also desperately needed!  If you are in our area and would like to donate your time/talent to piece, quilt, bind, or even simply wash completed quilts, please come in.  Our classroom will be available as a workroom (see our Calendar page for details), or you can pick up a project to take home, complete, and return. 
HUGS has a wonderful history of responding to crises.  We donated hundreds and hundreds of quilts to the victims of Hurricanes Katrina & Ike, the major wildfires in Bastrop, etc., in addition to our ongoing support of NICU units, family violence shelters, rape crisis units, etc.  Please direct any questions to our email address:  quilthaus@gmail.com
