Hello Members!  Community Service Quilt Tying will be held the second Tuesday of every month (EXCEPT July and December) from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the Human Rights Education Institute.  The address is:  414 W. Fort Grounds Dr., Coeur d'Alene. It is the two-story brick building across the parking lot from the Merry-go-Round.  Our next Community Service date is Tuesday, March 14, 2023.  Always check the guild calendar for possible date changes.

Once you enter the front door, we will meet in the large room to your left. I will have parking passes ready for your car, there is no charge to either park or participate!  Masks are encouraged.

The public is welcome to join and help assemble and tie quilts. We accept donations of fabric, quilt blocks, quilt tops, and finished quilts.  Currently, charities are requesting boys (ages 6 - 18) and men themed and colored quilts in lap to twin size.  The backing should be appropriate as well!  We also have a request for 14 twin sized quilts with gender neutral (non-floral) backings. 

If you have a quilt top or finished quilt to pass to Community Service, please contact me and we can arrange to meet.

If you can't help out on Tuesdays, we also make a huge presence at each Activity Day by setting up quilts to be tied. This is a great way to help complete the many quilts that are needed throughout our community. Come join in!

Watch this site for more information. We'd LOVE to have you join us!

Thank you to Carlene Litz, Cherie' Vidovich, and Jean-Anne Sharrai for leading another great Kids Camp in 2022.  A huge thank you to the volunteers who helped and without whose help the camp would not be possible!  Plans are already underway for Kids Camp 2023!  The dates are July 31 - August 4 at the Calum Shrine Event Center on Lancaster in Hayden.

Please check out all of the great photos at the bottom of this page from last year's event!!

Community Service needs many helping hands!

Our NIQ quilt inventory is dwindling, and we have requests for more quilts, the CS group has donated 70 quilts this past month! There are several quilt tops that need backing, machine or tied quilting and binding (roll-over is fine!). The preferred quilt size is lap or twin size.

Thank You for Your Help!
