An Introduction to Comfort Quilters and MORE Quilts Delivered!

I delivered 35 quilts to International Institute of New England on Monday!  These quilts, the last in my stash accumulated from your hard work and loving efforts, will be given to Afghan refugee families in the Manchester area.  Comfort Quilters donated 12 of these along with pillowcases and fleece teddy bears.  

Donated by Comfort Quilters, Massachusetts 

Comfort Quilters is a volunteer group based outside Boston composed of individual quilters, sewers, and local guild members.  Much of the inspiration for Comfort Quilters is credited to Jane Norberg, a longtime quilting teacher, quilter, and guild member.  Since 2000, over 100 local organizations have benefited from Comfort Quilters’ donations in the form of quilts, pillowcases, and teddybears.  Donation recipients include domestic abuse shelters, transitional and low-income housing services, hospitals, refugee resettlement programs, rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, and specialty children’s summer camps.  In 2020, Comfort Quilters succeeded in donating over 625 quilts, over 360 pillowcases and 360 bears. For more information, please email Jane Norberg at jhnorberg@gmail.com or Barbara Maas at barbmaas@comcast.net.  If you are in New England, visit their booth at the Quilter’s Connection Guild Show on May 6th and 7th.
