Community Quilts

COMMUNITY QUILTS IS...

A GROUP OF QUILTERS THAT COME TOGETHER TO HELP CHILDREN IN CRISIS


When: 4th Monday of the Month, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Where: Memorial Presbyterian Church, 601 24th Ave SW, Norman, OK.

The guild’s Community Quilt Group quilts together from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the fourth Monday of every month at Memorial Presbyterian Church, 601 24th Ave SW, Norman, OK.

The guild provides all the fabric and batting for the quilts, and the participating quilters bring their own sewing machines, thread and notions. Participants do not need to be guild members, or even experienced quilters to help out. There are plenty of ways for the less experienced to participate, such as cutting fabric, pressing, pinning quilts together, or sewing on labels or binding.


These quilts are given to:

The Mary Abbott House, which provides a victim-centered, child-friendly environment to help children tell their stories after an instance of abuse has occurred. Through their coordinated efforts with law enforcement, child welfare investigators, and mental health and medical professionals, they help set children on the path to healing.

The Center for Children and Families, which includes Baby Steps.  CCFI serves children and their families who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing child abuse, neglect or other adverse experiences throughout Cleveland County.

Cleveland County OK Juvenile Detention serves the city of Norman and other smaller towns in Cleveland County.

McClain County Sheriff's Department, quilts are given to support the officers in various emergencies where a quilt might add some comfort to a victim.

Bridges of Norman's mission is to empower high school students in family crisis to pursue education without obstacles.
