About County Line Quilters
MISSION
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. - Pablo Picasso
Philanthropy - HOW WE HELP
Placemats
Our guild members create and donate placemats for Bucks and Montgomery County Meals on Wheels programs.
Quilts
We support non-profit organizations dedicated to helping underserved babies and those impacted by domestic violence in our community.
WALKER BAGS
WALKER BAGS
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.
HOLIDAY
WALKER BAGS
We also donate holiday decorations to homes for seniors. Last year we donated 37 Christmas Trees to Bucks County's Neshaminy Manor.

FIDGet lap QUILTS
Lap quilts are given to patients with dementia, so they can fiddle with the different textures sewn onto each quilt. This helps keep their hands and minds occupied. We currently donate these fidget quilts to Neshaminy Manor patients.
