Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild

Community Service Projects

The guild encourages all members to help fill the needs of those in our community by making quilts that can soften the hard edges of their lives. Below are some possibilities. If you have questions or suggestions for projects, please contact our Community Service Coordinator at CommunityService@ctquiltguild.org.

The Linus Connection

The Linus Connection is a Central Texas organization whose mission is to make and deliver handmade security blankets for children in crisis situations in our area. The blankets go to children in hospital emergency rooms, in crisis centers, in foster care, battered women's shelters or to any child who needs a little extra security in their lives. Quilt tops or finished quilts may be dropped off at the monthly guild meetings or Linus meetings.

You can find specific information and specifications as to size and color, as well as other drop off locations, on the Linus Connection website. You can contact the guild's liaison for this project at linus@ctquiltguild.org

The Patriotic Quilters

This group meets the second and fourth Tuesday at the Honey Bee Quilt Store in Austin, from 10 am to 3 pm, to sew patriotic quilts. The preferred quilt size is 60 x 72. The quilts are donated at the Heroes Resource Center and the VFW.
