Become A Bandit Quilter

Take the First Stitch

Give our campers the warm welcome they deserve by becoming a Bandit Quilter and ensuring our beloved tradition of gifting every camper with a quilt continues!

At every summer session and Family Camp, our campers and families are welcomed with the gift of a small quilt and pillowcase to take home with them. These gifts are not only beautiful but are also especially meaningful as they are handmade with love by our Bandit Quilters. Bandits include individual quilters, youth groups, senior centers and other specialized quilting groups. And we are always on the lookout for new groups and individuals to join this Gang!

Quilt Guidelines

As a Bandit Quilter, you provide Camp magic with cozy nights and a Hole in the Wall memento our campers will treasure.

  • Quilts can vary in size (just like our campers!) and most quilts average 50″ wide by 70″ in length. Please no quilts larger than a twin size mattress. 
  • Any thickness of batting is acceptable. 
  • Pillowcases are for standard-size pillows. 
  • All donations should be made with new fabric. Fabric from old clothing and T-shirts is unacceptable due to immunity issues of some of our campers. 
  • Machine sewn quilts are preferred, as they tolerate washing better, but are not required. 
  • All donations should be homemade. 
  • All donations should be in new condition. 
  • All donations should be free of allergens such as pet hair, mildew and smoke. 
  • Please include a note inside that has your name or group name, email, mailing address and how many individuals are in your group.

We also accept knitted or crocheted afghans and handmade fleece blankets that meet the same guidelines as the quilts.
