Charity and Comfort Quilts
One of the central endeavors of RDQG is our program to produce quilts of all sizes for hospitals (beginning and end of life), dialysis patients, the police and fire departments for trauma victims, and for catastrophe victims both locally and nationally.
In 2024, our members produced and delivered 375 quilts.
Our monthly meetings start at 6:30 p.m. with a social time beginning at 6:00, during which you may want to visit with others who are coordinating special activities, or just connect with fellow members.
At the beginning of the meeting is an educational program – The programs we offer vary from hands-on instruction to speakers who motivate, inform, and entertain us. We may feature a local quilt artist or bring in a guest speaker who is well known to the quilting world.
After the program we begin our general meeting where you’ll learn about what’s coming up, win door prizes, see the latest and greatest from our Activities Committee, and enjoy an inspiring Show and Tell. The monthly meetings typically end about 8:30 pm.
