CVQG Community
Service Projects
Just as a quilt is made of many different parts that work together,
the same can be said of our Quilt Guild. We all work together with many different parts to help deliver outstanding service to our community.
1.
Nursing Home Quilts: For almost 20 years, our main community service project has been to make lap quilts for our local seniors. With well over a thousand quilts made, we hope to brighten their days and show them some CVQG love.
2.
Quilts of Valor: Originally started to give quilts to wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, the generosity of quilters has expanded its scope as a way to thank any veteran. CVQG is proud to be a part of this worthwhile project.
3.
Quilted Stories: This project started in 2013 pairing children’s books with quilts that illustrate them. We distribute bins filled with a selection of books and quilts to 12 local schools and preschools and rotate them regularly. Librarians and teachers can use these as an additional way to promote literacy while instilling a love for quilts.
4
Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter Quilt: We provide a quilt yearly to raise funds for this worthy organization.
5.
Texas Quilt Museum: We proudly support our museum financially as a Charter Guild. In addition, members act as docents and are an integral part of the team that changes out each exhibit.
6.
Day One Bags: We make twin-sized quilts for graduating High School seniors who are aging out of the foster care system.
