Helping kids in need one quilt at a time
Welcome to Peninsula Angel Quilters
Our Story
We are a 100% volunteer run 501(c)3 non-profit organization that makes and donates quilts to children in need in the Hampton Roads area.
Our volunteers have a wide variety of skills and expertise in quilting and sewing, ranging from beginners to seasoned quilters. Whether you just learned how to turn on a sewing machine, or are a seasoned pro, we would love to have you join us!
In March 2025 we went on the Hampton Roads Show to talk all about our organization! Click this link to see the video.
In addition to donating to children in need, we strive to be as zero-waste as possible by recycling our scraps into pillowcases, sewing them shut and donating them to local animal shelters to be used as pet beds.
We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 3pm at 45 Main Street in Newport News, VA.
Congratulations to our winner, Cathy D. from Yorktown VA! You are the winner of our first raffle quilt! Watch the video below to see what the raffle quilt for 2026 is! We will start selling tickets for that quilt at the Hilton Village Spring Festival on April 25, 2026.

Join Us!!
We meet in the basement of St. Andrews Episcopal Church located at
45 Main Street in Newport News.
Our entrance is off of River Road through the playground, we have signs to help lead the way.
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am-3:00pm
Although we meet in the basement of St. Andrews Episcopal Church, we are not a ministry of the church. We are a stand alone 501(c)3 Non-Profit that rents the basement from the church.
Our meet ups are very informal, free and open to the public. Come and go as you wish. You do not have to bring anything other than food and drink for yourself. We have sewing machines, fabric and all the supplies you will need to make quilts! Although, if you just love your machine and your tools feel free to bring those.
