Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop Pieces Together Quilt Even

Assistance League® of Diablo Valley is a nonprofit, member volunteer organization dedicated to improving lives in our community through its hands-on programs. Throughout the year, member volunteers at Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, located at 3521 Golden Gate Way, in Lafayette, have collected quilts and related items in preparation for the Quilt event scheduled to begin Tuesday, January 10.

Whether applique or piece, vintage or new, quilts have enjoyed a balance of practicality, heritage and art throughout our nation’s history. To this day, a valuable lesson endures; we need to continue this example of ingenuity and innovation by renewing our resources rather than (by) discarding and replacing them.

Venture through the Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop to find a selection of beautifully crafted quilts, many of them hand pieced and hand stitched. You will also find fabrics, quilt frames, and quilt books. Add warmth to your home by adorning a wall, covering a bed or gracing that favorite chair in your reading corner. If you have any quilt related donations, the dedicated thrift shop member volunteers will happily add them to this special event.

As with the early chapters of our nation’s history, our local community faces numerous challenges. Your generous donations to the Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, along with your purchases there, not only ease suffering, they restore hope.
