Committees
Cuddle Quilts
The Cuddle Quilt Committee make available at each meeting kits of fabric and batting for members to assemble into cuddle quilts. There are also pieced quilts available for members to quilt. These quilts are usually lap or crib size. Members are encouraged to make at least one cuddle quilt per year from one of these kits or from their own fabric stash. The cuddle quilts are then donated to local organizations and schools, as well as national and international causes. Please contact pharris141@jps.net or vals123@comcast.net to arrange to pick up or drop off kits, quilts or tops.

Quilts of Honor
The Folsom Quilt and Fiber Guild contributes many quilts to Quilts of Honor. Quilts of Honor create and award Quilts of Honor to the men and women of America who have courageously defended our freedoms. In 2010/2011 our guild held a quilt challenge to create red, white and blue quilts that were all donated to Quilts of Honor. Quilts of Honor holds sew-ins the first Friday of every month at the Fabric Garden, 2654 Marconi #155, in Sacramento, 916-483-2955. All are welcome to join the group.

Show and Tell
At the general meeting each month members show quilts, garments, or other fiber items they have made or acquired, and tell the stories behind them. Members like to share inspiration for the item, whether they made it for a family or friend, made it as part of a group challenge, or as the result of a class or workshop. You can share in advance of our virtual meetings by emailing a photo to Elizabeth Holz at ebeth_edh@comcast.net |
Other Contributions
During the holiday season our guild makes cash contributions to several charitable organizations, including the Folsom History Museum, Twin Lakes Food Bank, Power House Ministries, Quilts of Honor, and others. We also collect food for our local food bank at the November meeting. |
