Memorial Candle Decoration & Quilt Square Design

Donor Family Workshops: Memorial Candle Deocration & Quilt Square Design.

This workshop is an opportunity for those with no quilting experience to gain guidance in creating their square, as well as to meet our community of volunteers. Please consider joining donor families and staff members for this wonderful event honoring our donors.

Ordinary people with extraordinary stories of inspiration, hope and courage create quilt squares as a means of sharing their story and spreading the word about the critical need for and benefits of organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Each year in April, during National Donate Life month, Donate Life Northwest unveils a new Threads of Life Quilt. The quilts are dedicated to the memory of those who gave the gift of life, sight and mobility. They also celebrate the lives of transplant recipients and offer hope to those awaiting transplant. Each quilt is comprised of individually-designed squares created by people touched by organ, eye, and tissue donation.

The quilts are not only a beautiful and inspiring tribute, but also serve as a thought-provoking testament to the fact that organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation transform lives.

Come out to this Portland event in collaboration with Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank , Lions VisionGift, and the Donor Family Advisory Committee.
