Members
of the Orange County Quilters Guild
have many opportunities to contribute
to the community. Since January, 2002
we have given out 118 quilts. Following
is a list of organizations who have
received quilts in the past two years:
• Healthbridge Children's Rehab
Hospital, Orange
• Ronald McDonald House - Orange
County
• Hope's House, Aliso Viejo
• Anaheim Memorial Hospital
Neo-Natal Unit, Anaheim
• Olive Crest, Santa Ana
• Hart Community Homes, Anaheim
• CHOC Psychology Healthcare
Team Orange
• Project Cuddle, Orange County
• The Sheepfold, Orange County
• The Alex Foundation for Brain
Injury, Tustin
• St. Jude Hospital Neo-Natal
Unit, Fullerton
• City of Orange Police Department
• Guide Dogs of America
Many
individuals and some of our friendship
groups give their time and materials
to these projects. In October 2003,
we devoted an entire evening meeting
to making these quilts. More than
100 of our members worked diligently
on quilts of all sizes to be donated
to others.
We
also make a quilt to be auctioned
at our quilt show. Proceeds from this
project allow us to purchase some
of the materials for the projects
listed above. Members donate many
of the materials and are very generous
with their time to make these projects
happen.
We
award a $100.00 check to the maker
of the item chosen by judges as the
"Best Quilt" (Twin Size
or Larger category) in the Adult Quilt
Division at the Orange County Fair.
The
Orange County Quilters Guild has contributed
money to the Marie Webster Quilt Museum
and various local youth groups to
promote the art of quilting.
