COMMUNITY  SERVICE 

Our Community Service Program supports our Lowcountry community by making charity quilts which are donated to local nonprofit organizations who provide relief to the poor, the distressed, the underprivileged, the elderly and veterans or advocate for families suffering from domestic violence, rape or child abuse, such as Bluffton Self Help, Hopeful Horizons, CAPA and Penn Center.   

    


New Pattern for 2025


2026 Community Service in Review

The generosity of quilters is one of the best features of our Guild. Members continue to outdo themselves each year. All year we meet and work to create quilts for our community. 


Community Service decided to just surrender to the Dog Days of summer this “Daugust” and took the chance to use up bags and bags of fabric trimmings to craft 17 pet mats that will go to the Humane Society’s shelter to give a little comfort to their pups and kitties.


We also partnered with Donna Frankoski from Outreach to sew together some Fidget Mats for a local memory care facility.


We had a great time, and we look forward to September 8 when we will need all hands on deck because we will be sandwiching the beautiful tops that have been flowing in from our generous members!  We will need all the things this month- sewers, pressers, pinners and turners!  If you have any questions at all, please call Lisa or Linda. We’d be happy to answer them. We were also gifted a large amount of fabric and tools from a member who’s moving away. We would love to have some help sorting through the items and organizing them for use by community service and or any other part of the Guild. If you have any interest in doing something like that, please come on Tuesday.

OUTREACH PROGRAMS

  •      Our Outreach Program supports the purpose of our guild by promoting and educating the community in the art and craft of quilting.  We do this in many ways.  

  • ·       We hold trunk shows with senior facilities where we show quilts of all types and encourage participants to share their stories of quilts from their past.  We also help residents of these facilities make small projects that are quilt-related.
  • ·       We work with schools by providing educational discussions, demonstrations and assisting them in making school-related projects using quilts.
  • ·       We honor our veterans and first responders by providing wheelchair and walker bags, comfort quilts and Quilts of Valor, a very special quilt that is presented to a veteran who has been nominated to receive one.
  • ·       We support organizations that provide services to residents of our community such as Memory Matters and other memory care facilities by making memory mats, a memory tool that reinforces both tactile feeling and small motor skills.
