| Quilters' Connections primary community
service project has been the production of comfort quilts. These quilts are made
by members and then donated to organizations assisting the homeless, the ill,
the elderly, and children. Among these have been Sandra's Lodge, the House of
Hope, Project Hope, Rosies Place, A Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Help for
Abused Women and Their Children, Boston City Hospital, Northshore Childrens
Hospital, and Boston area veterans hospitals. Recently our focus has widened
to include making dolls, mittens, and nap quilts for school groups. Our most recent
projects are listed below. Click on the links to see pictures if they are available.
