Shriners Hospital For Children - Greenville
On Thursday July 17, Edith, our Philanthropy Chair delivered 70 Pillowcases and 8 small quilts to Shriners Children’s Hospital Greenville. As you can see from the photo to the right, they are always appreciative of our efforts. The pillowcases go to all children admitted to the hospital and the small quilts go to each child requiring surgery.
Quilts are filled with love and prayers and really make the receiver feel loved and cared for. Every quilt and pillowcase makes a difference in someone’s life today!
Please continue to consider putting together small quilts and pillowcases to donate to the children.

This year our guild voted to help the following three facilities with their needs
Piedmont Women’s Center: Receiving Blankets, and or Self Binding Baby Blankets - Gender Neutral - but all colors will be accepted. Size should be minimum 36” up to maximum 45”. There are many great YouTube tutorials for Self Binding Baby Blankets (two are linked below) Receiving blankets can also be made by simply joining two same size pieces of flannel sewn right sides together, then turned right side out and top stitched along the edges and a small amount of stitching in the middle to hold the two pieces together.
