May 2025

May has set a resounding record of quilts donated.  

First, at our Guild meeting, it seemed that May was Anonymous quilt month. Beautiful quilts - of every conceivable size and pattern - were donated. Then, later in the month, I met up with Karen McCutchen, who came into Edmonds from Kitsap and hand delivered 14 (yes! 14) gorgeously finished quilts: 6 twin sized that she did herself and 8 smaller ones that were pieced by Lauren Higbee, quilted by Karen and finished by Lauren.  My heart is just filled to bursting.  This means that every single woman residing at Kenmore Senior Women's Shelter and YWCA Pathways for Women and Children will have a quilt on her bed!  

Here is the wonderful stack from Karen:

And the ones made jointly by Karen and Lauren:

Ann Daniels made this one and even managed to get her picture taken with it at our Giving Quilts Sew In:

These were turned in at the meeting and are on their way to WestSide Baby:

These five from the meeting are headed to YWCA Pathways for Women and Children: the disappearing nine-patch was made by Dorothy Neville and the one with blue triangles on a white background was made by Beth Ratzlaff. The multicolor squares was made by Marla Varner. 

This twin is going to Kenmore Senior Women's Shelter; the top was pieced by an anonymous donor and left at a meeting in 2024! It was quilted and bound by Margaret Treleven Murphy.

And two more head off to YWCA Pathways for Women and Children:

Here's the back of that one...or is it the front? So gorgeous!

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED!!

April 2025

Two quilts were completed by Bridget Slocum and donated to Kenmore Senior Women's Shelter.

Two tops rescued at SeaMQG retreat by GreenAmberDawn were graciously taken to be quilted by Jana Royal and Becki Willis.

 It really does take a village.  Thank you all!

We held our first Giving Quilts Sew-In on March 8, 2025. It was a great success!

Five fidget quilts will go to Hearthstone Nursing Home.

Four baby quilts will go to WestSide Baby.

Kenmore Senior Women’s Shelter

Join us in supporting elder women at the Kenmore Women’s Shelter
because getting older shouldn’t mean a life on the streets.

KSWS is A specialized shelter program serving retirement-age (or close to retirement age) women who are seeking shared housing solutions – e.g. renting rooms together in affordable/low income apartments or houses. The target population is senior women who are community-minded, socially-stable, and retirement-age (or close to retirement) with very low fixed income. Target shelter census is 30 women.  This Center opened in January 2025. Quilts of all sizes are appreciated; twin size quilts preferred.

YWCA Pathways for Women 

Eliminating racism, empowering women

This emergency women's shelter has provided safe housing and resources for single women and mothers with children experiencing homelessness in Snohomish County for more than two decades. YWCA Pathways for Women is a 45-day emergency shelter for single adult women and mothers with children. We strive to give all clients the opportunity to find decent, affordable, and safe housing for themselves and their children. Clients have their own room and meet regularly with an advocate to develop and execute a Housing Stability Action Plan. Quilts of all sizes are appreciated; twin size quilts preferred.
