Community Service
Garland Quilt Guild seeks out community services to donate its
time and efforts. The Executive Board reviews the ideas for
community service and presents the next year’s focus to the
membership at large.
The Guild has adopted The Garland Police Department and Friendship
House to receive donation quilts in 2011. The police department uses
quilts to help children cope with traumatic situations and
Friendship House adds a quilt to basic layette items given to local
families in financial need as they await the birth of a child.
Guidelines for donation quilts are as follows:
Use 100% cotton or a high quality flannel and a low loft batting.
Piece and quilt with a sewing machine as tied quilts pose a
potential choking hazard. Bind quilt.
Ideal quilt size is 38-40 inches by 45-46 inches. Size may vary
depending on pattern used.
Label quilts with:

QUILTERS DISPLAY THEIR WORK TO SENIORS
Several members of the Garland Quilt Guild held a mini quilt show
for the residents of Chambrel at Club Hill, senior living residence
in Garland on February 19, displaying over 40 quilts. The folks at
Chambrel also showed their quilts. Guild members discussed their
work with Chambrel residents and visitors explaining the different
techniques they used such as applique and paper piecing.
The event was organized by Chambrel's Sales and Marketing Department
Director Donna French, who also invited the public to attend. She
said that the residents enjoyed seeing all the quilts, and it was a
wonderful show.
