In the past guild member Nancy Robinson has provided small 8x10” quilted pieces, primarily landscapes, that are framed by Cedarcrest and given to outgoing members of their Board of directors. She has made a couple of them recently, so there may not be an immediate need at this point. She is requesting that another guild member take over this task. It typically involves making 2-4 pieces per year, depending on turnover. When someone volunteers, she would be happy to pass along the relevant details. Please contact Nancy if you are interested, her contact information is in our handbook.

Since its founding, the Cheshire Quilters’ Guild has made wheelchair quilts for residents of area nursing homes. Our charitable work has expanded to include donations to the Cheshire Medical Center Pediatrics department, Cedar Crest Center, and the Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention.
The recipients of the kerchiefs and pillow cases are the residents at Cedarcrest Center for children with disabilities. The neckerchiefs are used as an age-appropriate version of a bib. See below for the patterns and instructions.

The Christmas stockings, comfort bags and lap quilts are for local families who are experiencing domestic violence. The comfort bags are filled with personal products for those individuals seeking immediate shelter. See below for the pattern and instructions.
Guild Contact: Arlene Curran

We stretch our necks out for the greater good of our community by creating quilts of all sizes and donating them to families that have suffered a devasting loss, due to fire, floods, etc.
Guild Contacts: Lou-Anne Beauregard & Jean Lord
