Community Quilting Project

Through Community Projects, our guild members create finished quilts that are distributed to local charitable organizations. Our guild members completed 200 quilts this year for the community!

Kudos to all the members and friends who made tops, quilted them, put on bindings, sewed labels, delivered the quilts, and did a myriad of other tasks large and small. Special thanks to 2 Friends Quilting for donating time, space, and services on their long-arm quilting machine.

Get Involved

Support is needed throughout the entire year, and there are many ways to contribute:

• Take a quilt kit to work on at home.
• Volunteer to quilt a top.
• Donate fabric, batting, or sewing supplies.
• Notify the board of local causes with an immediate need.
• Attend our annual workshop at which we bind the quilts and add a finishing label.
• Collect and distribute the finished quilts.

Donations of completed tops and/or finished quilts are especially appreciated.
