Community Service: Past Projects

New Mexico School for the Deaf Project: 2006

We Did It! The Guild was asked to supply "at least 80" twin-sized quilts for the New Mexico School for the Deaf's new cottages. In all, we are donating 95 or more quilts! So many Guild members were involved in this project. Special thanks go to Helen Fabel, Helen Moran, and Elisa Sims for their tireless dedication.

When the school year started, the Guild was invited to a ceremony for each child to choose his/her quilt.

More photos are available in our Quilt Gallery. The childern were so happy to receive the quilts. Their expressions are priceless.

Project Linus

Sponsored by Sewing Center of Santa Fe

According to the Project Linus website "Project Linus is a 100% volunteer non-profit organization with a two-fold mission: First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer 'blanketeers.' Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children." The main sponsor of Project Linus is Janome of America.
