We are a quilt guild that was started 30 years ago. Today we are 160 members. We have speakers come to teach and inspire us. We have a quilt show every other year as our major fundraiser to pay for the bills! We do a lot of community service. We have other activities like block of the month, a newsletter, an extensive borrowing library, an Opportunity quilt, and a travelling boutique.
We make placemats for Meals on Wheels, we make flannel baby blankets for teen mothers, we make pillowcases for the children in the oncology unit at Sutter Memorial hospital. We make bead bags for them as well. Also we make soft dolls dressed in cute gowns for the kids in oncology unit as well as heart pillows. We make quilts for kids at Shriners hospital and catalyst. Also we make twin size quilts for the foster children who are aging out of the program.

We do this because we all care about helping those in needs. Most of us are grandparents and this is our time we can help especially children. This is also helping ourselves when we get together to sew, quilt, stuff items it is a wonderful way to develop friendships as well as good feelings as people!
