Mini-Quilt Benefit Auction

Each year at the quilt show a silent auction is held for mini-quilts made by guild members. Money raised goes to several local charities. Past recipient include CASA, GaDuGi (Rape Victim-Survivor Services), Habitat for Humanity, KVQG, Lawrence Social Service League, Spencer Museum of Art, Douglas County Aids Project and Watkins Community Museum of History. 

Comfort Pillows

We make comfort pillows for the Visiting Nurses Association to give to their patients.  The pillows are designed to be heated in the microwave, then, when draped around a patient's neck it provides relief for stiff or sore muscles.  To help with this project, or to donate, contact Sammie Messick.
