HOSPICE: UTQG has an ongoing community service project providing quilts for our local hospice centers at the Collierville location and at Baptist Hospital. Making the quilts is a team effort shared by our members.
Community service provides kits from our donated fabric. Members sew quilt tops. Then tops, batting, and backing are assembled and other members quilt them. Then as the process continues, still other members add binding and a label.
The quilts are approximately 40" X 60" but can vary in size.
In the past two years we have provided between 100-150 quilts per year.

SPECIAL PROJECT: We are collecting wall hangings that you may have made but no longer want. These will be used to decorate the family respite room at the hospital. If you have any you would like to donate, be sure they have a sleeve and bring them to the November meeting.
2024-25 PRIZES:
We have decided to give the prizes for the individuals who signed off on completing the most steps in May. This gives you time to bring the quilt to the May meeting. We are giving 3 prizes to the top 3 contributors. We wish we could give everyone a gift because we could not do this without you.

MAY 2025 COMMITTEE THANK YOU:
Hello again, ladies. We were astounded last month, once again, with all the quilts you brought in for Hospice. I know we say this a lot but we truly mean it, all of you volunteering your time, talents, expertise and love means a lot to the men and woman who receive your quilts. There has not been even one time, when I have dropped off quilts, that someone at the Hospice Center hasn't commented on how appreciative they are for those quilts. They tell me about the family members who remark about what it means to them and often about how the quilts have brought them together. It's started conversations and moments to share memories. You are a great group of ladies and it's been our committee's honor to be part of this guild. Your generous endeavors have made a big difference in the lives of many.
