DESCRIPTION:QuiltWorks Collaborative is holding a ribbon-cutting event at its 
 headquarters in San Francisco's Visitation Valley to introduce its services 
 and facilities to local quilters, fiber artists, DIY-ers, volunteers, 
 philanthropists, community members, and other interested organizations.  
 \n\nThe ceremony will be open to the public and will feature remarks by 
 founder, Linda Hannawalt, and other San Francisco community and nonprofit 
 leaders. The event will kick off a weekend of festivities, including 
 trainings open to the public. QuiltWorks Collaborative will also offer 
 tours of its 3,800 square foot facilities, in which one volunteer 
 explained, "every space, every last inch, is filled with fabric."  
 \n\nQuiltWorks operates through three distinct programs - QuiltWorks studio 
 and training facility, Thriftstitch discount fabric store, and FABSF 
 entrepreneur center and gallery-to bring together, train, and empower local 
 community members to secure their own standard of living and to give back 
 to other San Franciscans in need.  \n\nLocated just off of Route 101, the 
 QuiltWorks Collaborative is easy to find with plenty of free parking, and 
 it is easily accessible by public transportation.\n\nThe QuiltWorks 
 Collaborative is wheelchair accessible.  \n\nThe recession and recent 
 budget cuts have increased the demand for services targeted to San 
 Francisco's most vulnerable populations. Understanding the dedication and 
 talent of the quilting community, which consists of over 27 million people 
 nationwide, QuiltWorks Collaborative works with Bay Area quilters, sewers, 
 and DIY-ers to create handcrafted quilts, wheelchair quilts, preemie 
 quilts, and pillowcases to comfort those in Bay Area hospitals, cancer 
 centers, and women's shelters.  \n\nThrough the training and resources 
 provided by the QuiltWorks Collaborative, low-income, unemployed, 
 underemployed, youth, and seniors can uncover a new means of supplementing 
 their income and securing a more sustainable standard of living.\n
