Jennifer Todd of The Quilted Cow generously donated 2,000 yards of first-quality quilting fabric to our community quilts initiative! The donation, worth over $25,900, was presented on February 10, 2023, to members of our Community Quilts Group.
The Quilted Cow was a Silver show sponsor during our fall ’22 OPQG Show. On Saturday morning, the last day of the show, Jennifer and her “night crew” team hosted a “Party in Your PJs” that raised $1,020 for our Community Quilts group. Those funds allowed us to buy a full pallet (16 rolls) of top-quality batting that will be used by our members when making quilts for community distribution.
Jennifer’s generosity is appreciated more than words can say. This fabric will be a comfort to people who snuggle under the warmth of the quilts we make with it. Thanks again, Jennifer!
Annually, OPQG members make and give away 1,000 to 1,500 quilted items each year to many area agencies, including but not limited to Mercy Hospital, Cox Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, Ambassadors for Children, Child Advocacy Center, Harmony House, Newborns in Need, Empower Abilities, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Ashley House, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, Springfield Police Department, Christian County Family Crisis Center and many others.
