​
Marble Mazes
Marble Mazes help children and those with anxiety
These Marble Mazes are made from soft fabrics with a marble inside that can be moved through the maze. They involve using your hands to calm an overloaded or anxious brain. They ground you, give you a sense of control and decrease feelings of anxiety. These are also being requested by The Refuge to help with sexual assault survivors, and others.
SETTING UP QUILTING FRAMES
We rent out quilting frames for groups to use for service events. We are gathering as many quilts as we can to help send over our love to Refugees being displaced from their homes and families all over the world. Sign up on our Host Own Event by filling out the form or email Events@stitchingheartsww.org for more questions.
LOAD QUILTING FRAMES
This is to show you how we load our enveloped quilts needing to be tied.
We are working to get as many quilts tied or quilted as quickly as possible to keep up with the need for quilts to be delivered to those in need. We appreciate any help you can give. If you do not have your own quilting frames you may rent them from us. Event@stitchingheartsww.org or calling Anna at (801) 669-1590. Thank you!
​
TYING A QUILT
We always need quilts for our ongoing donations to local Refugees being relocated in Utah and for other Non-profit organizations like The Refuge (helping sexually asaulted individuals right here in Utah Valley). We appreciate any help you can give, whether from your own fabric or using our fabric to make and tie these quilts. We use a double threaded kneedle with quilting yarn. Ties should be approxamatly 5in apart and double knotted.
Any help to make these quilts is greatly appreciated!
SLEEPING MATS
These Sleeping Mats are being donated to homeless here in Provo, those living in the tunnels under the city in Las Vegas, and to St. George for the homeless there.
These mats keep someone 40 degrees warmer - making the difference of freezing to death or not. They give protection from the ground and are easy to clean. A stuffed pillow of bag ends and crocheted bags for the handle make a complete sustainable solution for plastic bags.
