Giving Back

Community Quilts

Community quilts are an important aspect of our Guild.  Throughout the year we donate quilts to a variety of organizations and families within the Tri Community of Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Parkland County.  Although lap and wheelchair quilts* are our primary focus, we also do preemie quilts**, octopuses and knitted hats for the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit as well as fidget blankets for dementia units. 


* Wheelchair quilts should be 36x45 inches finished. A soft warm backing such as flannel would be nice.

**Preemie quilts are made with at least one side made of flannel, 20x20 inches finished size and with or without batting. The restrictions are: no invisible thread and no tying of the quilts.

The County Quilters Guild is proud to support local organizations in need. Over the years, we have donated hundreds of quilts to local charities.
