Charity & Social Justice Update: DC Diaper Bank Donations
You've made beautiful quilts for the Greater DC Diaper Bank; now you can join us in providing diapers and wipes, too!
Many families in our area can’t afford basic hygiene items, like diapers and wipes. Your donation helps keep babies clean and healthy. 79% of moms with diaper insecurity feel stressed or anxious when they are unable to afford enough diapers for their children. When families receive diapers, more caregivers are able to work or attend school, health care spending is reduced, and children are healthier.
How to Participate:
1. Drop off packs of diapers and/or wipes at our December guild meeting. All brands and sizes welcome!
2. Donate directly to the Greater DC Diaper Bank. Every dollar donated can purchase 2 diapers, meaning that your donation can go even further to providing diapers! And, some employers may also match donations. Please note "DCMQG" in the attribution box.
3. Purchase items through the Greater DC Diaper Bank's Amazon Wishlist.

Jenn, from Slightly Biased Quilts, has a new pattern out. More information from blog below:
I’m thrilled to introduce my newest pattern release: Winter Nest — a cheerful flock of winter birds bundled up in tiny scarves, ready to bring a little joy and warmth to your sewing space this season.
This design has been such a delight to create. I wanted something that captured the magic of winter without feeling too tied to a single holiday—something playful, modern, and full of personality. Every little bird feels like a character, and sewing their cozy scarves might just be my favorite part.
