Community Projects

The Langley Quilters' Guild mission statement is to make and distribute quilts within the community. The Guild looks to donate, to various local groups, quilts that have been made by guild members. Whether a beginner or experienced quilter, what a great way to practice your skills and give back to your community at the same time. The size of the project makes it very do-able for any level quilter to complete in a weekend or a couple of free evenings.

What are Inspiration Kits?  These are little bundles that may need just a border added to complete a top or they may be fabric scraps just waiting for some creative inspiration.  Feel free to add any fabric from your stash that may compliment the bundle.  Don't worry if you don't have enough to finish the kit - just do what you can and return and hopefully your creation will inspire someone else to finish it.  We do have some batting and backing on hand and will make provisions to obtain them for the kits if necessary. 

Salvation Army's Gateway of Hope

Our current project is making quilts for the Salvation Army's Gateway of Hope development, a partnership with the Province, city and township, in Langley. The development will provide a total of 55 beds for the homeless, and other support services to help individuals regain their independence in the community. We are hopeful our quilts will contribute to this effort; our initial goal for this project is 25 bed-size quilts, completed for the opening day.

In 2007, LQG made quilts, reminiscent of 1910 era, for a Parklane Homes project in Bedford Landing, Fort Langley.

Come to our ongoing Quilt Bee's - a great way to meet other members, learn and have a fun day of quilting!  Check the calendar for dates.

Location:  Brookswood Baptist Church
