Bringing Comfort through Quilts. . .

New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild members actively use their leadership and quilting skills to support area community projects, charities, education, and other non-profit organizations in need.

Through the Story Book Quilts program, we make and loan quilts to area school districts for use in classroom instruction.  Participating in the Kiddie Quilts program, members make quilts, tote bags, and pillows which are donated to agencies who provide emergency shelter for children and families. Over the past twelve years, the Hospice Quilt Project guild members have actively created a Memory Quilt in honor of loved ones served by Hope Hospice of New Braunfels.  This past year, the Guild donated  a quilt for 8 families whose home was built through Habitat for Humanity.  Also, through Quilts for Fallen Heroes, the Guild joined with other quilters to provide quilts for our wounded service members receiving treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center.  Last, but not least, the Guild awards scholarships to deserving graduating seniors through the Clare Peterson Memorial Scholarship Fund.
