Hunterdon County Quilting Guild

Community Service

The Hunterdon County Quilting Guild a 501(c)3 a non profit organization with a focus to community service projects celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2018 and continues that focus today.

Our purpose is the preservation and promotion of the Quilting Arts by educating members through lectures, demonstrations, workshops and other appropriate means, stimulating a renewed interest in quilting, encouraging original design, and bringing these benefits to the
general public in the form of exhibits and demonstrations.

Over the years 100’s of pillowcases have been donated to local children’s hospitals and cancer centers. Other projects have included making quilts for Project Linus, placemats for Meals on Wheels, bibs/vest, wheelchair bags and walker pockets for Veterans at Lyons Hospital. The guild has also distributed 100’s of quilts to Care Centers and Nursing Homes as well as to
Combat Veterans through the Quilts of Valor Foundation. The first baby born of each new year are given quilts at RWJ Somerset Medical Center and the Hunterdon Medical Center.
