Outreach Projects
Our Outreach Projects include providing school grants to local teachers, participating in Girl Scout activities, making quilts or quilt related projects for local Charity endeavors, and creating Quilts of Love for members having a significant illness or losing a close family member.

At the May meeting, one of the Show and Tell items was a quilt made by 2nd grade students at Southern Pines Primary School. Their teacher, Tommye Mangum, a member of our guild, had received one of the grants provided by the guild. The students were asked to make a block indicating what they would do if they could improve the world by flying over certain places. After the teacher pieced the quilt, the students helped with the tying of the quilt. Details of some of the blocks are shown here.

2000 Pink Ribbon Quilt
In 2000, Teena Little challenged the Guild to create a "Pink Ribbon" quilt. The stars in the quilt were created with fabric provided by breast cancer survivors and family members, and the quilt was tied with pink ribbon bows. After being displayed at the Breast Cancer Research Golf Tournament in May, 2000, the quilt was auctioned off for $21,000. for the benefit of Breast Cancer Research. The quilt then traveled in a special display case with the LPGA Medical Exposition during the 2001 LPGA tour season, returning to Southern Pines when the US Women's Open was played at Pine Needles Golf Course.
