Each year, the guild organizes various challenges, special projects and Sew-Alongs to make quilts for charities, provide learning opportunities and to promote involvement by members. Here are some of the fun activities we have underway this year.
Ukraine Quilts
Interest in supporting the citizens of Ukraine, resulted in organization of an effort to make quilts to be sent to those in need in that country. Members donated yellow and blue fabric to make kits, constructed various types of quilts using the color scheme, and helped with quilting and binding of quilts. Working with a relief agency, the quilts are being shipped directly to the Ukrainian citizens.
Temperature Quilt Sew Along
Faithful Circle members are challenged to create a colorful memory of the weather using any pattern, any colors, any location, even any year, for their quilt. It’s a fun way to record a year through color and pattern, while sharing encouragement with each other during meetings and via posts on social media.
Patriotic Quilt Challenge
Using a large collection of red, white, blue and military fabric donated by one of our members, Faithful Circle is challenging members to make quilts that will be donated to veterans organizations and hospitals.
