Sew Blessed

We have been "Sew Blessed" for the past five years by

the customers and friends who quilt along side us.

We would like to take this occasion

to launch a new mission at Temecula Quilt Co.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Sew Blessed

A sewing machine lifts a woman out of poverty.

To a poverty-stricken woman or girl in a country like Zambia,

 Ghana, or Ecuador, the sewing machine you provide

can be a doorway to a better life. You'll show a single mother,

 orphaned teen, or HIV-positive widow how she can make a

decent living as a seamstress to support herself and her family.

- - - - - - - - - -

How you can participate

We will be collecting donations to purchase sewing machines

through World Vision. One sewing machine and training is

$270.00. Each time we collect enough money to purchase

a machine I will send a donation to World Vision.

- - - - - - - - - -

This will be an ongoing project at Temecula Quilt Co.

To get the ball rolling we are doing a give-away

Make a donation in the shop or online in the month

of March and you will be entered in a drawing to win the

 Basket of Scraps pictured above. Add something for yourself
to your online order and we will enter your name again. Over
the last five years I have accumulated a lot of scraps and this
is the perfect occasion to share. These are bundles that I have
used to create store samples. There are a lot of great lines
from all our favorite designers.

Prize includes:

Personal Scrap Collection

Several of our Favorite Scrappy Quilt Patterns

All 5 Temecula Quilt Co. Booklets
