Joseph's Warriors
This year we will continue to work on quilts and pillowcases for Joseph's Warriors. Kathy Kelley will continue to bring us quilt and pillow case kits. We can't say enough good things about this wonderful organization and one of the founders, Winnie Fleming, has visited our guild on many occasions. Go to the web site for more information about this wonderful program.
Quilts for foster children graduating from high school
We will be doing this project again for our community service, making quilts for 2025. So there is plenty of time to raid your stash and find a pattern. We have not yet set a goal for the number of quilts for 2025 as official sign-up on their web site is probably in early September. We view this as a worthwhile project for the guild. Check out their website on the link below. Quilts need to be throw size, 50 X 70. Heading up our community service projects this year is Carolyn Bradshaw. However, Penny Swan will assist her and once again collect the quilts and deliver to our regional coordinator. Several quilts for 2024 have already been turned in and you can view those here.
