Philanthropy Quilts

Philanthropy Charities
The Philanthropy Committee selects charity organizations within the valley to receive philanthropy quilts made by CVQG members. Charity quilts will be accepted at the monthly guild meetings and will be distributed throughout the year.

Project FTF--Finish the Flimsy*
A few weeks ago the guild received a donation of approximately 35 quilt tops that needed to be made into quilts. These tops in addition to others that have been received by Philanthropy, created a large backlog of 45+ quilts to complete. As a result Treese has created kits with tops, batting, backing and binding of lap size or smaller quilts. She needs help from guild members to finish these charity quilts.
There are larger size quilts that are available for the long arm quilters in the guild as well.
