KQC  began with one teacher, fourteen fourth graders, two volunteers, and four sewing machines pulled from quilters’ closets. The project grew instantly, and with it our need for additional funding and sewing machines. Up came the idea to start a not-for-profit organization which would enable us to serve more students. 

EduQuilters became official in 2005, adding services and workshops as the requests came in. Hundreds of students have learned to quilt with EduQuilters / Coastal Quilters volunteers in and out of school classrooms. 

Coastal Quilters incorporated in 2018 and assumed hosting the camp in Brevard County.  Summer quilt camp, now in its fifteenth year, is a tradition. Organizations such as 4-H, Jr. Womens Club, and Girl Scouts have quilt projects which are part of KQC
