Quilt Guild donates quilts to nursing homes

LA GRANGE – On Tuesday, May 23, the Colorado Valley Quilt Guild held their second Charity Quilt Workshop.

The guild said over 50 Charity Quilts have been donated to local nursing homes in Schulenburg, Columbus, Weimar, Flatonia and LaGrange since Sept. 1. The guild said everyone made haste cutting, piecing, compiling and making kits to take home. CVQG said they are assembling over 110 more quilts for area seniors.

Another one of their projects for seniors is the Adult Shirt Protectors. Contact Carolyn Cheatham for Charity Quilts or Janice Raabe to help with constructing the Adult Shirt Protectors at [email protected].
