Penn Oaks Quilters strive to share our skills for the betterment of others. 

Our activities include:


Patches of Love - (2007-2008)

 

This year we will be making children’s quilts by working in conjunction with the organization Quilts for Kids, Inc. This group is located in Yardley, PA and their mission is to transform unwanted and discontinued fabric into quilts that comfort children in need.


Their web site http://www.quiltsforkids.org  contains a lot of information and photos.


 

Patches of Love - (2006-2007)

 

Quilts were made by guild members for wheelchair bound veterans and personally delivered to Coatesville Veteran's Hospital, Coatesville, PA. in May 2007.

 

 

 

Opportunity Quilt for Annual Charity

 

Each year the guild makes a quilt for which donations are taken and a donation recipient is drawn at our June meeting.  Part of each quilt's proceeds are charitable donations supporting:

 

  • Breast Cancer Research
  • ALS and others

 

 

 

 Quilts of Valor

 

Many guild members donate their time and materials to make quilts for our wounded soldiers.  We also hold bees where we come together to create quilt tops.  Guild members with long arm quilting machines donate their time to then quilt the tops.

 

Please visit  http://www.qovf.org/ to  find out more about the organization.

 

This Penn Oaks guild member has made 79 Quilts of Valor to date.  Her current goal is 100!
