Charity Quilting 

The making of charity quilts has been an intregal part of the Herring Run Quilt Guild throughout the years. Our members feel strongly that two of the main goals of our organization are to work together and to give back to the community. We have accomplished this through our charity quilts that bring joy, happiness and comfort to those who sew the pieces together and those who receive the finished project in a beautiful quilt.

Every February we get together and create quilts for local charities. We have given quilts to local women's shelters, children's hospitals and other charities that guild members have suggested. Our February charity quilting day is always lots of fun. Many hands make light work!

Special thanks go out to Jane Matthews and Joyce Archer for the wonderful work they did during our 2007-2008 year coordinating our charity quilts.

Thank you to Nancy McLean & Charlene Schultz for offering to help coordinate our charity quilts for the 2008-2009 year.

Charity Quilting Update:

This year (2007-2008) the Herring Run Quilt Guild presented 49 quilts to the Weymouth Department of Social Services, Little Sisters of the Poor in Brighton, My Brother's Keeper in Easton and Pilgrims Hope in Plymouth.

Thank you to everyone in the guild that created all these quilts. Please know they are now being loved by those that received them and giving them lots of comfort and warmth.
