Giving Tuesday is an international day of generosity that happens every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This day was created to encourage individuals, businesses, and groups of all stripes to give back to their communities after the consumer-focused shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

How donations make a difference to QGGH –With your support, our Learn to Quilt booth can reach even more beginning sewists at the International Quilt Festival, using the same model of sewing machine to create a welcoming learning environment. Our Comforters group is actively assembling quilt tops that are ready for quilting and they need batting, backing, and binding fabric to transform them into comforting quilts. These quilts provide warmth and support to individuals who need a hug at a challenging moment.

Our Charity Quilt Day, which produces many of the tops distributed by the Comforters, relies on donations of fabric to create these important pieces. With 300 members, the Guild faces the challenge of maintaining a safe meeting space and adequate storage for all the supplies needed to support our outreach activities. The numerous hours volunteered by our members show their dedication.

Your donation is essential in helping us continue this vital work and spreading comfort to those who need it most. Every dollar received allows the Guild to focus on the mission “Dedicated to promoting the Art of Quilting and providing an opportunity for sharing ideas and learning new techniques.”

Matching Funds: A member, who wishes to remain Anonymous, will match the first $1,000. A second donor, who also wishes to remain Anonymous, will match the funds from $1,000 to $2,000.

Goal: $3,000 member donations, $2,000 matching funds
