Quilts to Share Guidelines "Quilts to Share" is the name
given to our Guild's philanthropic program. Quilts are made by members and
then donated to local non-profit charities or organizations. Quilts may be
hand tied or machine quilted. Sizes will vary depending on charities or
organization needs. Quilt book authors have different opinions on the
sizes of quilts for different standard bed sizes. Sizes will vary due to
blocks. Below are some numbers for you to compare. Crib size: 40x54, 42x59, 44x56,
Twin size: 71x88, 69x86, 66x90, lap size: 36-40x36-45 Receiving blankets - flannel only, sizes 35" sq. or 42" sq. No smaller than 35" and no larger than 42", please. These can be a single piece just serged around the edges if you wish. Premie Quilts - The small quilts help support and comfort the babies when being held by their parents. Each quilt stays with the baby and many parents keep the quilts as a keepsake. So throughout this year we would encourage everyone to remember these precious gifts from our Heavenly Father. *Remember to use soft colors and each quilt should be 30 by 36 inches or 36 inches square.

Bears - We have added stuffed bears to projects. Small bears [Minkee bears] are great size for the Layette project. Larger bears will find other homes. Below are links to bear patterns. The larger bear requires sewing knowledge with assembly of all the pieces. The smaller bear is flat and can be loosely or fully stuffed. The Court
Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program is established to advocate for
abused children in the Juvenile Court process - Our quilts bring comfort to those who might otherwise not feel they have
anyone that cares about their welfare.
