The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. - Pablo Picasso
Our guild members create and donate placemats for Bucks and Montgomery County Meals on Wheels programs.
We support non-profit organizations dedicated to helping underserved babies and those impacted by domestic violence in our community.
Our walker bags have been donated throughout Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Attached to a walker, they provide easy access to items that would otherwise need to be carried in the hands. These simple to make bags have been a boon to many of our local Senior Communities.
We also donate holiday decorations to homes for seniors. Last year we donated 37 Christmas Trees to Bucks County's Neshaminy Manor.
Help us serve others through quilting. If you have time, fabric, money, and especially quilting skills and want to help, please use our contact page to send us a note. We'll be in touch to help you help others.
