Service Commitee

Roberta Levin is Chairperson of the IQI Service Commitee 2007-2008. For more information on any of the projects or events listed, contact her at: Rlevin2000@aol.com

So far this year, over 100 quilts have been collected for various service projects.

Preemie Quilts

For infants in the St. Francis Hospital's NICU. Our guild has made over 1,000 of these over the years and they are very much appreciated by the families.
  • Please make these 18" square
  • Use any cotton fabric and wash before donating.
  • Coordinated by Anne Hart

Quilts for Kids

Originated by an interior designer utilizing obsolete fabric samples to make quilts for children from birth to age 22 battling disease.

Quilt Guidelines:

  • Please machine sew and quilt; no hand tied please.
  • Observe choking hazards: be sure all pieces are securely sewn in.
  • Pre-wash all fabrics before use.
  • Please use thin batting to make it easier for kids to hold.
  • Preferred size 40" x 45", up to 50" x 55" accepted.

The Veteran's Quilt Project

This project began in 2006 by IQI member Irma Nagele. Her goal of providing 100 quilts to wheelchair-bound vets at VA hospitals has been met and exceeded, but sadly, there are many more vets. These quilts are deeply appreciated by their recipients and still in great demand.

  • Please make your quilts no larger than 40" x45" to fit safely within a wheelchair.

Coming Soon: IQI Service Quilt Labels!

Printed labels available for all Service Quilts will be ordered before the December meeting. We hope to be able to distribute them at the meeting. For further information, please contact the Service Chair, Roberta Levin.
