Community Service Quilting

Every year, Ocean Waves members make quilts as a community service project.
The quilts are made at two guild meetings and members are asked to bring
sewing tools and donate fabric.  Quilt Patterns are chosen to accommodate
beginning quilters, making this a modern day quilting bee and an excellent
learning experience.

Recent recipients have included Safe Space - a facility for abused women and
their children, Sunrise Community – an adult care nursing home and Florida
Baptist Children’s Home – a shelter for children and Bay Point Schools.

Within our guild a small group of members a/k/a “We Care Quilters/Coral Gables
Congregational Church Quilters" have taken charge of making quilts for the
Quilts of Valor Foundation and the Bay Point School Charity.  Over the years
these ladies have donated over 350 quilts to the school and more than 15 quilts
to the “Quilts of Valor Foundation”.

2008, October
Ocean Waves Donated over 20 quilts to Patches, in Florida City.
This is a
wonderful organization that is devoted to the care of extreme medical
needs children.  The center needs your help.  They are collection clothing items
for the children and are also in need of food donations to stock the pantry.  
If you can help please call: Rosa Brito at (305) 606-6103
