Comfort Quilts
The guild makes quilts to give to individuals and families who have lost their home to fire or individuals suffering illness or loss of a loved one, with names being submitted by guild members. Quilts are also donated to the Kodiak Women’s Resource Center, Kodiak Arts Council, Hope Cottages, the Chiniak Elder House, Brother Francis Shelter and the Fire Station to be used in their emergency vehicles.
Guidelines have been created to help members in creating these special quilts. Often the Guild has extra fabric, donated by gracious members, and often the fabric is color coordinated in packets, ready to be sewn. Members are reimbursed for use of their own fabric stash, as are machine quilters who add an extra special touch to these comfort quilts. A worksheet to calculate the costs can be found below.
