Giving Back

Making quilts for children and families in difficult times and funding an annual fiber arts scholarship are just some of the ways we give back to the community.

Kitsap Snuggles

Kitsap Quilters donated over 300 stuffed animals and dolls wrapped in small quilts last year to to our local police and fire depts, DSHS, State patrol and Mary Bridge Children's Cancer Care ward. The quilts with their “babies” are delivered with a ribbon and a card from the guild in times of crises and at Christmas.

Kitsap Cuddles

We make quilts for the Harrison Hospital Birthing Center in Silverdale for distribution to medically or financially "at risk" infants. Cuddles supporters participate by creating quilts or donating fabric and materials so these babies have a special blanket of their own when they go home from the hospital.  For suggestions for quilt patterns, please click HERE.

Hospice Quilts

To send love and provide comfort for Hospice patients and their families during the end of life stages, we donate quilts to the Hospice Care Center in Bremerton, WA for families to take home with them after the passing of their loved one.  (Quilts should be 50"-56" X 70"-76")
