COMMUNITY SERVICE - JOYFUL QUILTERS

JOYFUL QUILTERS is committed to making quilts to provide comfort and warmth to those in need.  Through the years and the tremendous leadership and dedicated volunteers like you, we have made hundreds of quilts which we donate to various organizations and agencies such as the list that follows.
Most supplies and fabrics are donated to us.  We put together kits to sew, as well as tops to quilt and bind.  We promote the use of longarm machines so encourage our members to practice their skills on our tops.
