About us
The Marysville Chapter was founded in August 2000 by two women. We now have grown to 12 regular members.
In 2008 we made and delivered 1,150 quilts and afghans and made over 350 knitted stocking hats. Along with our regular deliveries to hospitals, foster care agencies, etc., we provided quilts for nine members of a local family who lost everything they had to a house fire. Unfortunately, they also lost two foster children. It was a very sad situation, but we were able to help in our small way to bring some warmth and comfort to this family.
The Marysville Chapter is busy making and delivering Binkies. We welcome any and all who want to help us in our work of making “Binkies” for the children and families in our area who are in need. For volunteer opportunities, please contact Wendy.

We’d like your help, please. Like most chapters, we always need donations of any kind – fabric, thread, batting, money, or gift certificates to buy the necessities. Any help, no matter how small a donation, is greatly appreciated. Please help us make a difference to a child.
The cost of having a booth at local fairs has become prohibitive, so we have not participated in any recently. We continue to look for sponsors who will help us with the cost of a booth. If you are organizing a craft fair or other event and would be willing to donate a table to us, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
As always, we are looking forward to the Bink-A-Thon this fall. It is a special time for all of us to join together to quilt, share ideas and have a good time. We welcome all who want to join us or just stop by to visit and see what we’re all about. Even if you don’t sew, there are always plenty of things you can help us with such as cutting squares, tying quilts, etc.
