2. Quilts for All to Host No Sew Workshop to Help Increase Inventory of Free Quilts Given to Local Homeless and Shelters
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (April 16, 2024) – Quilts For All (formerly Quilts for Kids) needs your help
to restock its inventory of quilts that are distributed free of charge to Little Rock-area homeless,
unsheltered, and other neighbors in need. A special, free No Sew Quilting Workshop will be held
on Saturday, April 20, from 1:00-3:00PM at the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library, 4800
W. 10 th Street, Little Rock. All are welcome. No experience required. Fleece fabric kits will be
provided for braided, no-sew quilts. Space is limited.
For nearly 10 years, quilts have been gifted to the Christmas Caravan, local hospitals and
other local organizations that provide comfort and support the health and wellbeing of residents
in need. “Many people often want to help others, but think their contribution may be too small,”
explains Quilts For All founder Marla Hardison. “But that’s not true. Anyone can make a quilt, and
a quilt can be a lifeline for someone.”
