Yes, it is wonderful how much a guild can contribute to the community. Bolt to Bed is just one of the events the MVQG holds. Members make comfort quilts, patriotic quilts, and pillowcases throughout the year. They are usually exhibited during 'show and tell' at the meetings, and then distributed to various groups that need them. I took this off the web site of the MVQG - that's 607 comfort quilts last year!
