Philanthropy Quilts
Coachella Valley Quilt Guild members create and donate quilts to various charity organizations throughout the Coachella Valley. The goal is to provide quality quilts annually to organizations in need. You too can help the guild achieve our goal! For additional information on how, contact the committee at the above email link.
Philanthropy Charities
The Philanthropy Committee selects charity organizations within the valley to receive philanthropy quilts made by CVQG members. Charity quilts will be accepted at the monthly guild meetings and will be distributed throughout the year.

Project FTF--Finish the Flimsy*
A few weeks ago the guild received a donation of approximately 35 quilt tops that needed to be made into quilts. These tops in addition to others that have been received by Philanthropy, created a large backlog of 45+ quilts to complete. As a result Treese has created kits with tops, batting, backing and binding of lap size or smaller quilts. She needs help from guild members to finish these charity quilts.
There are larger size quilts that are available for the long arm quilters in the guild as well.
- Kit includes top, batting, backing and binding
- Can be hand tied, machine tacked or machine quilted
- Can easily be completed using a home sewing machine
- We have volunteers who can bind the quilts
- When finished, please wash
- Return finished tops to Hilda Koning-Bastiaan, Philanthropy Chair, or Treese Pflum, President at drop off date and locations or guild meetings
