At Quilters' Corner, every stitch is an act of love. Quilters' Corner began in February 2009 and was founded by Linda Cannan. Our mission-based group brings together people of all skill levels—from beginners learning their very first quilting steps to seasoned quilters with years of experience—to create beautiful quilts that bless others in need.
Working side by side, we share skills, encouragement, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter. Some quilts are lovingly crafted by individuals, while others come together as true community projects, with each person contributing blocks that are pieced into a larger whole. Every quilt reflects not just fabric and thread, but the spirit of cooperation, care, and God’s love stitched throughout.
Quilts That Make a Difference
Currently, Quilters’ Corner provides 36" quilts to the Brandon NICU—about 40 each year—bringing warmth and comfort to the tiniest patients and their families. We also make lap quilts for organizations such as Family Promise and Mountain Heart Community Services in West Virginia, serving infants and toddlers from families facing poverty.
For children in the West Virginia PVK classrooms, quilts are used for naptime throughout the school year and then gifted to each child to take home—a reminder that they are cared for and remembered. These quilts also carry additional impact: their assessed value is matched with funds to support the program. In 2024 alone, Quilters’ Corner provided nearly 200 quilts, resulting in $16,791 in matching funds—a beautiful example of how God multiplies our efforts.
Join Us in Stitching Love
Quilters' Corner is growing, and there’s always room at the table for new hands and hearts! Our group currently meets every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Family Life Center (FLC), Room 305. Whether you are brand new to quilting or eager to share your skills, you’ll find community, connection, friendship, fun, and purpose here.
We are also exploring adding an evening or weekend meeting time to make participation easier for those with busy schedules. If that interests you, please email Renae Roberts, Quilters’ Corner Coordinator, at stampwithrenae@verizon.net to share your contact information.
Together, we stitch fabric into quilts—but more importantly, we stitch God’s love into lives.
