CRQG - Community Service
Each year the members of the
Guild select a project that benefits the citizens of Douglas
County. Examples of these projects in recent years included
Quilts for family members of the National Guard unit deployed
from the Douglasville Armory, a reproduction quilt for the
Sweetwater State Park Museum which was signed by descendent's
of the evacuees who returned for a reunion in 2005, bedding for
animals at the Humane Society, financial donation to the
accessible playground near Clinton Farms and more.
Community Service 2026
Our recipient this year is Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
This organization is part of the Knights of Columbus-a Catholic mission group. (The local group is at St. John Vianny church, Lithia Springs)
They build beds for kids (8-18yo) without beds of their own. Each recipient receives a bed, sheets, and a blanket. We need twin size quilts-at least 50"x60", preferably 60"x70" or larger.
Boy/guy quilts are the most needed! Most referrals come from the local schools that serve Lithia Springs and Douglasville.
If you can contribute in other ways-aside from making an entire quilt-please let me know!
Donate batting, your service of binding, thread, fabric, etc.- yes, we provide a service to our community, however we are a community of quilters who should work together for a successful year!
