Each year, the New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild, in cooperation with Hope Hospice, creates a Memorial Quilt, featuring blocks sewn from fabric that is special to surviving families of Hospice patients who have died in the previous year.  Families send in all sorts of fabric from which to make the blocks.  This fabric may come from a beloved shirt, a handkerchief, or any article of clothing.  This results in a beautiful unique quilt that memorializes the family's loved one. 

The 2010-2011 Hope Hospice bereavement quilt "Hearts in Bloom" was dedicated on July 21 at the Super Summer Salad Celebration.  Pictured with the quilt are Carol Sweeden, Guild President, and Sandy Jackson, the Committee Chair.

Guild members who worked on the project this year are, pictured left to right, Valerie Faleski, Sandy Jackson (committee chair),  Phyllis Jordan, Carol Sweeden,  Brenda Goggans, and Kerry Nicholson.  Not pictured are June Henke,  Sandy Rich,  and Carolyn Yestrumsky.
