Guild "Drive By" Event (May 2020)
Children's Hospice Quilts
In April 2020, Mary Salmon completed all the memory quilt kits. As a result of our March meeting cancellation and the concerns over COVID-19, volunteers were unable to pick up kits and help out. These individual quilts will go to the children who created them to keep as a memory of their lost loved one.
Hope Hospice Memory Quilt - July 2019
Hope Hospice Children's Memory Quilts - April 2019

|
Hope Hospice Children's Memory quilts started in 2006. Since then, quilts have evolved into mini memory quilts. On may 13, 2019, children, family, and friends celebrated with a BBQ picnic at Hospice where the children will receive their finished miniature quilts. This culminates the project and gives the children and families an opportunity to remember their special person, to express feelings through art without having to verbalize them, and to contribute a lasting memorial that will be displayed in their home for years to come. Volunteers who helped to create the mini quilts as shown in the photo include: Meloney Funk, Connie Wierzbicki, Vi Eng, Charlotte Mooring, Debbie McHolick, Carolyn Shelton, June Henke, Mary Salmon, Patsy Meckel, Barbara McLeod, and Linda Bligh. Joyce Hankins is not pictured, but she also helped with the project.
