Teddy Bear Quilts

Collection of plush teddy bears of various colors and designs on a quilted bedspread

The Teddy Bear Quilts project is a heartwarming outreach initiative that began in 2019. This project allows guild members to create small quilts that bring comfort and joy to children in need during the holiday season and throughout the year.

Guild-supported projects receive the encouragement and participation of our members but are not funded by the guild.

Teddy Bear Quilt Guidelines

Guidelines

Quilt Size: Quilts should be a minimum of 24” square and a maximum of 30” square.

Optional Addition: Members are encouraged to include a stuffed animal ("stuffy") with their quilt donation. The quilt and stuffy are then secured together with a ribbon, creating a thoughtful and comforting package.

Donation Process

Collection Times: Most donations are collected at our Gatherings in the fall by the co-ordinators, timed to coincide with the annual toy drive organized by the Knights of Columbus. However, additional donations are welcomed throughout the year.

Distribution: The Knights of Columbus handle the distribution of these quilt and stuffy packages, primarily during their holiday toy drive, but also on other occasions when there is a need.

By participating in the Teddy Bear Quilts project, you have the opportunity to make a child's holiday season a little brighter and provide them with comfort that lasts all year long. Thank you for your generous contributions to this meaningful initiative.
