East Cobb Quilters’ Guild to hold charity ‘sewcial’ event

The East Cobb Quilters’ Guild is holding a special one-day event Thursday to produce special items for various charities.

What the organization is calling a “Sewcial” takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Community Room at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Town Center (625 Big Sandy Road, Kennesaw).

A total of 18 quilters will bring their machines and materials to sew Beads of Courage bags for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta cancer patients, placemats for Meals on Wheels, pillowcase for hospitalized children through Ryan’s Case for Smiles and quilts for the Cobb Department of Family and Children Service.

Beads of Courage bags are a new addition to their outreach, 18 quilters will bring their machines, materials and dedication to sew all day to continue their commitments of community service.

Last year the Quilters’ Guild donated more than 1,300 items to local community organizations. This year they’re tracking progress toward those goals that can be found by clicking here.
