Community Service

This summer Heartworks Quilts and Fabrics undertook a project to make a quilt to hang behind the reception desk at the Cancer Center at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown.  Many years ago Heartworks donated the previous quilt and it was time for a new and pretty update.

Heartworks designed the quilt blocks, donated the fabrics, made kits to hand out, and enlisted the skills of many wonderful quilters to make this a success.  Many lovely customers picked up kits, completed a block or two, and returned the finished squares to Heartworks where it was assembled.   Sally Bush donated her time and talents to complete the quilting.

In October the quilt found it's new home at the Cancer Center and we hope that it will bring cheer to many people who see it.  One of our customers, Corrine Armstrong, sent Margaret a text in early November.  "The quilt is beautiful and cheerful! It makes sitting here a lot more pleasant."






This year during the Fly Creek Community Garage Sale Heartworks donated 300 yards of fabric and sold it at a substantial discount. 

The proceeds were donated to the Susquehanna SPCA in memory of Nancy Richard, a quilter and dedicated supporter of the shelter.  

Thanks to the women that manned the sale and collected the money.
