Submit a Quilt Square
Donate Life Northwest invites community members including donor families, living donors, recipients, and transplant candidates to participate in creating our next Threads of Life quilt.
Workshops
Workshops are coordinated statewide by VisionGift, Community Tissue Services, Cascade Life Alliance, and Donate Life Northwest. These workshops are an opportunity for those with no quilting experience to gain guidance in creating their square, as well as to meet our community of volunteers.
You may mail quilt squares to us for use in future quilts at PO Box 532, Portland, OR 97207.
If you can't make a workshop but still want to contribute a square, check out our guide on how to make a quilt square.
I don’t sew, and I am not crafty – can I still make a quilt square?
Absolutely! You do not need to be an experienced quilter. We have Ambassadors who love to sew and may be able to provide ideas, support, and assistance. If you don't sew, contact us at info@donatelifenw.org to discuss options for making your quilt square.
