HRQG Comfort quilts





Spreading Joy



Comfort quilts bring joy, happiness and comfort to those who sew the pieces together and those who receive the finished project in a beautiful quilt. Join us in spreading joy. Contact us if you are in need of comfort quilts.



Labeling the Quilt



Get a standardized HRQG label to place on your quilt from our Comfort Quilt Chair at each meeting. Special thanks to Marty Post for creating this wonderful label.



Comfort Quilt Chair



Our comfort quilt chair works with members to create comfort quilt kits, distribute the kits to members, collect completed work, put the finishing touches on quilts, and distribute. Watch your email for dates and times to pick up a kit or drop off a quilt.
