Community Quilts Program
Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters’ Guild
To collectively create and then distribute quilts, made by Schoolhouse Quilters' Guild Members, to organizations that support others in the Comox Valley.
There are so many great reasons to support the Community Quilts Program.
- There is a strong feeling of community when we come together providing quilts for others
- Your handiwork will make a difference in someone’s life
- You can use up your stash
- You can try new pattern, technique or machine quilting
- It feels good to share your passion and spread kindness through quilting for others
Offering Comfort through Quilts.
