Coffee Creek Quilters

Welcome to the Coffee Creek Quilters website.

Coffee Creek Quilters teaches quilting classes to women incarcerated at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon. Students have the opportunity to learn patience, perseverance, problem-solving and the importance of quality work through quilting. CCQ offers four classes a week, each with 18-22 students and 5 volunteer instructors.

Each student in the program makes three quilts in weekly two-hour classes. The first two quilts are donated to a variety of organizations that serve seniors in nursing homes, hospitalized children, terminally ill adults, and foster children. Each year approximately 150 quilts are donated. Students may keep the third quilt or give it to a loved one.
