Blockstars Carolinas
We are quilters who support foster care youth.
Quilts are love you can touch.
What we do
Blockstars Carolinas was created by people who love to quilt and want to make a difference in the lives of youth in foster care. Across the Carolinas, volunteers and quilt shops come together to make quilts that provide these children with comfort, hope, and the reminder that someone cares.
We partner with Comfort Cases, a national organization that provides new bags with personal care items, including a quilt, to children entering foster care. Most children enter foster care with little more than the clothes they area wearing. Comfort Cases is changing this.
Comfort Cases sends bags free of charge directly to state foster care staff in North and South Carolina, with our quilts included.
We believe quilts are love you can touch —
something a child can hold and take with them during an uncertain time. Something familiar made just for them.

Come Sew With Us!
Quilters are generous people, and our sew-in events bring them together to share their love of quilting while helping others. There is something pretty wonderful about sewing, talking, and laughing with other quilters, knowing that the quilts we're making will eventually be wrapped around a child who needs comfort.
Bring your sewing machine & thread – we provide the rest!
