Submit a Quilt Square

Now Accepting Squares for 2020 Quilt

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.

Individual Submissions

Click here to view instructions for creating a square, and the registration form: Design Criteria & Registration Form (printable PDF). The final deadline for quilt squares will be announced in January 2020. If you don't sew, please contact Sarah at salter@ohsu.edu to discuss options for making your quilt square.

A scrapbook accompanies each quilt. Quilt square submitters must include a registration form with their square submission. This registration form ensures that we capture all the information needed to make the scrapbook, including:

• a brief description of the square
• name of the quilt square designer
• full name of person(s) the square honors/remembers
• date and type of donation/transplant, if applicable
• a 250-word or less personal history of the individual being honored or remembered
• photograph of honoree (optional, but encouraged).

The registration form may be emailed to: salter@ohsu.edu

Quilt deadline will be announced in January 2020.

Workshops

Please view our Volunteer Events & Opportunities Calendar for Fall and Winter quilt workshops, coordinated statewide by Lions Vision Gift, Community Tissue Services, Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank 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.
