A Quilted Gift Throughout the year, A Quilted Gift committee has various activities to support our local charities. Case of Caring On Saturday, March 23, 2019, the Amoskeag Quilters Guild
and interested local sewers of all abilities will be gathering to
make pillowcases for kids to be delivered to local area hospitals. Sewing enthusiasts are encouraged to stop by for just a few
hours or the whole day (9am to 4pm) to join in the fun of making
pillowcases with friends who share a common bond. For the workshop, participants should bring their own sewing
machine, appropriate cords and foot peddle, thread, extra machine needles,
scissors, and other necessary sewing accessories. Be sure to bring a bag lunch
to keep you energized - coffee, water, and sweet treats will be provided. The venue is handicap accessible, and there is
plenty of parking available. In the event of inclement weather, tune in to WMUR
or "like" us on Facebook. For more information, email casesofcaring@AmoskeagQG.org.
NE Quilt Museum We
are proud to sponsor the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, MA. Our
guild has a special fund drive in March and donates the
proceeds towards the cause of supporting and maintaining a regional
area resource that is the museum.
Raffle Quilt One method we use
to give back to the community is to create a quilt as a guild and then
raffle it with the entire proceeds going to our designated charity.
Every other membership year, the guild votes upon which charity will be
the recipient of our group efforts and then creates a quilt and spends
a year in efforts to raffle it off. |
