Service Quilt Projects
Kodiak Bear Paw Quilters Guild has been providing Comfort Quilts for over 20 years. These quilts are made by members to be used by those in our community and beyond who might need a hug. Recipients are nominated by someone telling a Guild member.
Currently the Guild participates in the following ongoing projects. As the need arises the Guild members have made a donation to various one-time projects, such as the 100 pillow cases made for the youth of the Paradise Fire in California to be used as their book bags.

- Comfort quilts have been from baby size to twin and anything in between.
- Infusion quilts we provide to Providence Infusion Center are lap sized quilts.
- Elder House quilts are either twin or lap size. New residents can request colors and size for their quilt. A guild member coordinates the request for a quilt and the membership identifies a member willing to make the quilt.
- Quilts of Valor (QOV) are made by guild members who have joined our KBPQ QOV subgroup. The national foundation has specific guidelines for size limits, fabric and donation of quilting. Minimum size is 55” x 65” Maximum is 72” x 90”. Visit https://www.QOVF.org for more information.

Comfort QuiltsOne of the important activities of the Bear Paw Quilters Guild is creating comfort or "service" quilts that we give to needy families, or to comfort someone after the loss of a loved one, or someone who has survived a tragedy.
