Charity Projects
Sewing quilts for charity is an important focus for Macomb County Quilt Guild. Members can make quilts on their own with their fabric or the guild will have precut kits available for members to pick up at our monthly meetings.
100% completed quilts are turned in to The Charity Closet. Located near The Charity Closet will be a table for KIT pick up and return. You can sign out a kit and complete the steps that fit your interest and skill. Kits have various steps to be completed: Tops to be made, Quilted and/or Bound.
Do you have some left over fabric, jelly rolls or charm squares to donate? - Drop them in the bin at The Charity Closet.
