Since 1985, the Illini Country Stitchers have brought like-minded quilters together to share their skills, learn from nationally-known quilters, and to support philanthropic projects that include making quilts for Project Linus, which are given to children at local hospitals; making patriotic quilts for veterans through Quilts of Valor; working with Cunningham Children's Home; and supporting Crisis Nursery. The group meets on the second and fourth Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. at St. Peter's United Church of Christ, 905 S. Russell Street in Champaign.
