Community Outreach is an important part of the Sierra Gold Quilter’s Guild.
QUILTS! As part of our Community Outreach, Sierra Gold Quilters Guild members make lap size and larger quilts for various agencies within Amador County. Over half of our members participate in making at least one of these quilts each year. These quilts are created either from the Guild’s large stash of donated fabric and/or the quilters’ own stash. Batting is provided to complete each quilt. Donated quilting services are often available as well. In addition to quilts, members make a number of other handmade items that are donated to the community.
In 2022 we made and donated:
- 85 quilts
- 609 Chemo Caps for distribution to cancer patients in Amador and other counties
- 64 Clothing Protectors
- 10 Mug Rugs
- 69 Christmas Stockings
- 6 Walker Bags
- Animal beds
The Guild also collects donations for the local Food Bank. Donations of food and cash are accepted at each Guild meeting.
