Comforter Ministry - Quilter

I am a quilter and would like to make and donate a quilt for the Comforter Ministry.

Criteria for Making and Donating Comforter

  • The size of the comforter should approximately measure 57”x70” (often called a lap quilt).
  • ​May hand quilt, machine quilt *, or tie the comforter.
  • Include at least one (1) heart on the front side of the comforter. *Optional*
  • Fabrics and batting need to be washable/easy care. Fabrics that are 100% cotton are encouraged due to skin sensitivity of many cancer patients while in treatment and thereafter. Please, no embellishments.
  • Quilter’s name, city, state, and date comforter is completed should be written on the back of the comforter, using some permanent method.
  • When the quilt is near completion, request a Comforter Ministry Journal from us and we will send one to you. Fill out the CM journal page entitled “Greetings from the Quilter” with words of encouragement, Bible verses, a little about yourself, a prayer, or whatever you wish to pass along to the recipients of your comforter.
  • Provide three (3) colored pictures of the completed comforter, preferably all the same. Put one inside the vellum envelope opposite the “Greeting from the Quilter” page in the Comforter Ministry journal. Send the other two (2) pictures along with the completed comforter and journal; one for a Comforter Ministry album of all the comforters made for the ministry and the other for the file of the recipient of that particular comforter and journal which we maintain.
                         Send the completed comforter, journal, and pictures to
                                            Comforter Ministry, Inc.
                                            441 19th Street South
                                            Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494
  • Please be active in prayer as you make this special gift of love and comfort.
If you have not received a journal, you should request one from Comforter Ministry, Inc. before sending your completed comforter. (Click here for Contact Information)
* Do you have a quilt top that you would love to donate but it needs to be quilted?
There are two longarm quilters that have generously offered to longarm quilts for Comforter Ministry. As the top maker, you would be responsible for making the top, providing a backing that is 4" larger than the top in all directions and shipping them to the longarm quilter. They will provide the batting, longarm quilting and return shipping to you. If interested, please contact them to discuss.

                                  Thank you, Heidi and JoAnn!
