Arapahoe County Quilters

Celebrating the Art of Quiltmaking for 30+ Years

Charitable Quilts

The Charitable Quilts Committee for Arapahoe County Quilters focuses on making quilts for local organization that help people in need. 

We have many volunteers who participate in our efforts. We assemble kits with instructions for Arapahoe County Quilt members to sew into tops. We put together quilt sandwiches with tops, batting and backs ready for quilting. The quilting is done with a variety of quilting methods including free motion, continuous line and by longarm machine. We also have ACQ members that complete the quilt binding. 

Many of the quilts are donated to safe shelters for the homeless, hospitals, and people who have suffered.
