Community Outreach Projects
Members of the Village Squares Quilters actively support our three community outreach projects.
Bedford Babies - at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility
Cuddle Quilts - for children with long-term disabilities in local hospitals and rehabilitation centers.
Friendship Quilts - for residents in local nursing homes.
Thanks for the donation!
Thank you to Elaine Cosgrove who saw our website and appreciated the Guild's efforts in outreach by donating quilting tools, fabrics, and many quilting books.
Bibs for St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children
Many of the VSQ members have made bibs for the children at St. Mary's Healthcar System for Children. They were also recipients of quilts from members earlier in the year. Here is a sample of what they do and here are the details of "Who we are and What we do".

Thanks to Mitchell Blank
A major part of our guild's life is our outreach program. With dues and fundraising from our biennial show we buy supplies and, of course, also accept individual donations. In 2006 our collective "fabric stash" swelled enormously, thanks to a gift from Mr. Mitchell Blank, the owner of Blank Textiles. He has generously donated many, many yards of top quality fabric to help us continue our work, a kindness for which we are truly grateful. And we are not the only recipients of his open-heartedness - log onto BlankQuilting.com to learn about his company's help in the fight against ovarian cancer.
