Cuddle Care Guidelines

Norton Children’s Hospital of Louisville, Kentucky is one of the chosen charities of LNT.  

Completed quilts are the preferred donation to Cuddle Care and are a great opportunity for members to practice all aspects of quilting. Additionally, there are many other ways that members can donate to Cuddle Care:  

• Pieced tops
• Batting
• Fabric-100% cotton is preferred. Avoid heavy fabric such as denim or corduroy.
• Financial – Cash can be donated for the purchase of supplies.
• Talents

Basic guidelines for Cuddle Care quilts:

• Wash all finished quilts in hot water & detergent before donating them. Do not use softener or starch.
• Cotton or polyester thread.  NO monofilament.
• Hand or machine quilt.  NO tied quilts.
• Quilts that are 36” square or larger are greatly appreciated.  

Any questions can be addressed to the Cuddle Care Committee. The chair person for 2025 is Mary Cleary.

You are invited to show your completed quilt or quilt top during “Sew and Tell” at our regular meetings.  We love sharing our creations!
