Everything is priced to sell, and there is so much to choose from. The Coffee Creek Quilters Sale only happens once a year, and you are invited. I recommend getting there early for the best selection.

What is the Coffee Creek Quilters’ Prison Quilting Program?
(From the website)
Coffee Creek Quilters teaches quilting classes to women incarcerated at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon. Since 2002, we have provided a positive, hands-on program that gives our students an opportunity to learn and practice many life-enhancing skills.
Why teach quilting in a prison?
Quilting teaches patience, perseverance, problem-solving and the importance of quality work. When students complete their quilts, they develop a positive, “I can do it” attitude. Our goal is to nurture students’ self-esteem, so that they will be more successful living in the community after release from prison.
This prison quilting program is a model that has inspired prisons all over the country to teach life skills through quilting in their own prison systems.
Here’s how you can help – and have some quilty fun at the same time:
Show up early on October 11th, bring a few friends (carpooling is highly recommended), and shop the sale. All proceeds from the sale go directly to supporting this important program.
