Charitable Causes 

Our charity mission of the guild is to assist our community by utilizing the talents of our members to create quilts and related items for those in need.

We donate the items to nonprofit agencies throughout Teller County, and the surrounding areas.

The Guild recently received a donation of ANOTHER 290 beautiful stuffed animals from Wishpets (a leading wholesale designer and manufacturer of plush toys).  These delightful critters will facilitate and inspire the Guild to meet its steady demand for "critter quilts."  

A huge thank you to Wishpets!
