Out of concern for each other and to support community health efforts, we are practicing social distancing. Accordingly, the April Philanthropy Sew-In has been cancelled.
It is our intention to reschedule the event at a later time. More information will be forthcoming as it is available.
In the meantime, if you wish to work on a philanthropy project, we have provided directions below. This years’ project is coin quilts. Here are some examples.…

Also, there are many samples and directions on pintrest.
We are asking for 2 different sizes, adult and lap size. The adult (twin) size will go to the family shelter and the lap size quilts will be donated to Kindred Spirit, a hospice service in Oak Brook.
Measurements given below are cut sizes and final sizes are approximate. Do not worry if your quilt measures slightly differently. The quilts are scrappy. The guild is happy to provide batting, backing and binding. Of course, if you wish to finish a quilt on your own, your donation is greatly appreciated, too.
We hope to see everyone soon.
Happy quilting,
Terri and Judy.
