Comfort Quilts are given to members of the Colorado Springs Quilt Guild when he or she has suffered a major family loss, health crisis or other life-changing event. The Friendship Star blocks are made by collective members of the guild and assembled together to make a quilt that has been touched by several members.
How You Can Help
Sew a Quilt
When creating quilts for a community project or charity please do all of the sewing on the quilt by machine to ensure durability. Hand-stitched or tied quilts are not durable for washing, and tied quilts are a danger to young children. Please don’t use invisible thread as it wont stand up to high heat in hospital/industrial dryers.
Join Our Monthly Sew-in
The Community Projects/Charity Quilt sew-in will be held the first Saturday of every month from 10am - 3pm at Central United Methodist Church (4373 Galley Road). All members are welcome to attend. You can bring your machine or just come by and help where needed.
Donate
The Guild’s members create their quilts using their own materials or they can use fabric that has been generously donated. The Guild is always seeking donations of quilts, fabric, batting, and other materials. If you would like to donate please contact the current Community Projects/Charity Quilt Committee.
“Charity quilting has allowed me to learn so many new techniques: quilting on a longarm machine, curved piecing, binding methods, etc. Many of the groups we donate to are at the lowest points of their lives – dealing with cancer, loss, or hardship. Often a quilt will be the only thing they own that wasn’t mass-produced. It tells them that someone, somewhere, cared enough to make something beautiful just for them!”
We love our community
Quilting for our community members lets us give back and connect with those in need.
Quilts Given by CSQG
“Our members make a huge number of quilts for many diverse groups. When one of us is ill or grieving, it is important to let them know we understand and care. The comfort quilt is a sign of our support and empathy during difficult times. Many of our members use the quilt to curl up with like a hug from us all. I’m very grateful to be part of this program. It is a way to interact with and meet other quilters while enjoying helping others.”
