Quilting for Community

Quilting for Community is a nonprofit studio and fabric store in Chatsworth, California.

We teach quilting in a way that welcomes beginners and supports people looking for purpose, creativity, and community. Many students become volunteers in the studio or fabric store and later step into teaching. This keeps skills moving and keeps the space active and exciting!

We offer free and low-cost classes with all materials provided. Students make quilts for people in hospitals, hospice, and shelters. This gives new quilters a clear goal and keeps the work grounded in service. Our fabric thrift store supports this work by turning donated textile surplus into affordable fabric for the public and steady revenue for our programs. We divert thousands of pounds of material each year and offer a place where people stay involved, build skills, and make something useful.

Q4C functions as a third space where people return, build confidence, and support one another. We grow community by teaching people to teach each other.
