Pillow Project for DSS Children
LQ members are encouraged to make bright and colorful pillow cases. These will become Christmas presents for children from infant to teens now in Spartanburg County DSS protective custody.
Philanthropy tote bags
LQ's tote bags are given to children removed from their homes by Spartanburg County DSS. More than 145 have been made as of September 2011. Click here for the pattern.
2011 Hospice Quilts
To date: 2 gurney & 110 individual quilts.
Make your hospice quilt no smaller than 40 inches square and no larger than 40 inches by 60 inches.
The smaller size is perfect for wheelchairs and the fabric won't get caught in the wheels. The larger size can be turned to the short size for wheelchairs and to the long side for the bed.
