Kennel Quilts Workshop
General information: The Kennel Quilt Team was formed after Hurricane Sandy to help animal shelters affected by disasters.
Started by TQPM (The Quilt Pattern Magazine) - an international, digital-only publication), it is partnered with the Petfinder Foundation. The Kennel Quilt Team is a volunteer organization available whenever disasters strike - a way to join a larger effort helping our animal friends in times of need by doing what we love.
How It Works: When disasters strike, the Kennel Quilt Team checks with the Petfinder Foundation to see if there are shelters in need of assistance. Whenever Petfinder receives a request, the shelter's information is immediately sent to the Kennel Quilt Team, which responds with a call requesting the correct mailing information - a necessity in case shelters have been severely damaged, and alternate housing has been set up. An email is sent to the Kennel Quilt Team with the shelter's information and a post for the request to their Facebook page. The Kennel Quilt Team springs into action making Kennel Quilts and sending them to the shelter along with a form explaining the Kennel Quilt program and naming the sponsors.
Members also send a picture and the number of kennel quilts made, which is then posted on both the website and the Facebook page.
Local Shelters also love to receive quilts.
