Community & National Outreach

Baby Quilts

Baby Quilts is a community outreach program in which our members make baby quilts for Angel Hospital, Kid's Place and Headstart. Last year we gave over 150 quilts to these three places. HeadStart receives matching government funding to equal the value of the quilts donated by the guild. Members can donate fabric for the quilts and they can take quilt kits home to complete.

Storybook Quilts

The Storybook Quilts committee furthers the education of school age children by teaching about the history of quilting in the United States The purpose of the committee is to inspire the appreciation of quilting in children by sharing the unique quilting heritage of America. Special books for children about quilting are purchased and paired with quilts made by guild members that help tell the story. The books and quilts are at South Macon Elementary and the librarian Marty Greeble will arrange to share them with children throughout Macon county.
