Storybook Quilts
NBAQG sponsors a quilt-lending program to the greater New Braunfels area, which includes Seguin and San Marcos, as well as all schools in both the New Braunfels and Comal ISDs. Each quilt and its companion book cover subject areas such as math, history, social studies, reading, story time, and library display. During the summer months, quilts may be viewed at local libraries, senior citizens facilities, and community centers. Currently more than fifty quilts rotate throughout the schools.

Quilts for Those in Need
This outreach involves making children’s quilts, totes or drawstring bags, and personal care kits for several local agencies. Guild members volunteer thousands of hours annually towards making and delivering these items, as well as providing financial donations. Various organizations that benefit from these outreach efforts include:
St. Jude’s Center for Young Children in New Braunfels
St Jude’s Center for Young Children is located in a peaceful and secured area. They reach out to smaller children (ages 3 – 12) through numerous children’s activities.
Greater San Marcos Youth Council (GSMYC)
The children who come to the shelter operated by the Youth Council are seeking refuge from abuse or neglect. They have been removed from what they know as home and are uncertain as to where they will call home next. Serving as temporary caregivers for these children, the staff cares for up to 16 boys and girls under the age of 17 by meeting their physical and emotional needs. Many arrive with little else save the clothes on their backs."
Children's Advocacy Center of Comal County
The mission of the Child Advocacy Center is to provide a neutral, child-friendly coordinated effort in the prevention, detection, prosecution and treatment of child abuse.
Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center in Sequin (GCCAC)
The GCCAC’s mission is …mending injured heads, hearts and souls. Many of their children (ages 3-17) are sexually, emotionally, and physically abused. Their program offers a coordinated, multidisciplinary team approach involving representatives from law enforcement, the district and county attorney’s offices, and Child Protect Services, as well as medical and mental health professionals – all working as a team on each child’s case. The goal is to minimize each child’s trauma, provide immediate and long-term treatment and services, and to ensure proper investigation of cases.
Individual members also make quilts and take them to the following organizations and others: Merci Ministries, Quilts for the Methodist Hospital, Christian Women’s Job Core, and Quilts for Fallen Heroes

Hope Hospice for Children
Each year, members of the New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild partner with Hope Hospice to create a Children's Memory Quilt. The children create Crayon drawings depicting a memory of their loved one, which are then made into quilt blocks by guild volunteers. After they are assembled, quilted, and bound into a beautiful Memory Quilt, they are are presented at the Summer Salad Celebration held in July. To view the quilts, visit Hope Hospice in New Braunfels.
Hope Hospice
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 and unique quilt that memorializes the family's loved one. To view the quilts, visit Hope Hospice in New Braunfels.
Hope Hospice 40th Year (2024)
This is the 29th year our guild members have made a special quilt for Hope Hospice. The first quilt was made in 1996 to honor patients who died in 1995. Founded in 1984, this year is Hope Hospice’s 40th birthday. They requested a ruby anniversary quilt. This quilt will hang in the lobby of the Hope Hospice building on Walnut Avenue for one year – until the next quilt is presented in 2025. All of our quilts are hanging somewhere in that building – they’re EVERYWHERE! This quilt has 44 names, and was presented at a dinner on July 12, to which all of the families were invited. Members of our guild’s Hope Hospice Committee completed piecing this year’s quilt at a workshop on May 3. They are (from left) Sandy Druebert (chairperson for committee), Brenda Goggans, Kathy Lamon, Carolyn Yestrumsky and Meloney Funk.

Hope Hospice Memory Quilt (2023)
The 2023 Hope Hospice memory quilt was presented at a dinner in July. This is the 28th year that Guild members have made a special quilt for Hope Hospice.

Habitat for Humanity
The New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild works with three area Habitat for Humanity organizations to present a quilt to each family receiving a Habitat home when the home is finished and dedicated. Each quilt is made by quilt guild members working together to piece, quilt, and bind the gift for the family. A label for the quilt is donated by Embellish of New Braunfels. Families in Comal, Hayes, and Guadalupe counties have received quilts in recent years.
