Garland Quilt Guild

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.

Our 2010 charity: Garland Police Department

City of Garland Police Department - Baby Quilts Project
Need: Baby Quilts.
Purpose: The donated quilts are kept in the trunks of Garland, Texas police vehicles. When a police officer needs to remove a child from a home or if a child is involved in an accident, the Garland police officer has a quilt to offer the child to provide a little security and comfort in a difficult situation.

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.
