- (December 15, 2011) I am looking for a sewing contractor with patchwork quilting experience. I love to sew and I just made my first quilt, and I understand the love, time, effort and attention (and sometimes frustration) that goes into sewing. I am a recent RISD graduate and have a possible commission for a small edition of quilts. I am looking into sourcing the pieces and am looking for someone with quilting experience with great attention to detail and love of craft. Please contact me at mcallaha@risd.edu if interested.
- (October 21, 2011) I am looking for people that are in need of someone that does professional quilt restorations, memory quilts and custom quilts. I have been doing this type of work for the past 30 years as an instructor, pattern designer and restorations. I have just come here to Pittsburgh to be with my son and family. So if you want to be first on my list of new jobs in a new place ( no waiting list ) please contact me at jodee@jodeesigns.net I look forward to working with you on a delightful quilting project.
- (October 14, 2011) I am seeking a talented, energetic quilter interested in taking on regular quilting projects, each with a good amount of creative license. This is part of a new business endeavor, so things would necessarily be light at first, and hopefully move to a full-time quilting position. Products are expected to be of top professional quality, so experience and skill are vital. If interested, call 412.532.6093, and I can fill you in with more information. Thanks!

- (July 1, 2011) I was happy to find QuiltPittsburgh.org on the Internet. I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the State
Veterans Home in Pittsburgh; I was approached by the daughter of one of
our female residents who would like to see the facility become more ‘home-like’. Would any of you consider donating small wall-hanging
size quilts to brighten our hallways? We would be happy to host a tour of our facility so that you can see first-hand
the wonderful facility that we provide for Pennsylvania’s Heroes.
