Donation Quilts

As a charitable organization, every member is asked to donate two quilts every year. Our members donate quilts to a variety of local organizations, so just about any size or kind of quilt can find a home.

Children’s Resource Center
Cocoon
Project Linus
Quilts of Compassion
St. Vincent’s Hospital — Children’s Palliative Care Unit
Victory Center - Perrysburg Mercy Hospital
Wood County Hospital Cancer Center

These quilts do not have to be heirloom quality! They can be tied, or pillowcase style (without binding), or fleece backed. You can choose to donate to a specific group, or it can go to the group most in need.

Following are the suggested quilt sizes for the organization we support:

Cocoon Shelter
Coordinator: Wendy Jenkins
Cocoon serves victims of domestic abuse in Wood County. Bed-sized quilts, approximately 71” x 96”, are requested. Any color is okay. [Size change made October 2024.]

Children’s Resource Center Coordinator: Wendy Jenkins

Baby — 36″ x 48″ or larger

Youth — 48” x 60”

Infants and Children’s — 36” x 48” or larger. They are used as floor quilts for the babies to play on, so think sturdy, washable, and colorful.

Youth sizes — 48” x 54” or larger. The center houses adolescent boys and girls. These quilts serve as part of their reward for successfully completing the program. They are used as lap or bed quilts. If making a “boy’s” quilt, please do not include pink or floral fabric.

Project Linus
Coordinator: Carol Ballard
These are given to children in need. Any size children’s quilt is needed, generally 26” x 48” or larger. Children’s colors.

Quilts of Compassion

Coordinator: Sheila Painter

New, all size quilts, and crocheted, knitted and fleece blankets for men, women and children delivered to hospital patients and for disaster relief. “Quilts may be quilted or tied; if tied, use pearl cotton only, not yarn. A quilt label with name, city and state is fine as recipients love to know who made their quilt.”

Victory Center - Perrysburg Mercy Hospital

Lap quilts “provide hope and support to cancer patients, survivors, and those closest to them.”

Wood County Hospital Cancer Center

Lap quilts, usually adult-sized – 48” x 60” or larger, serve patients receiving cancer therapy, for comfort and to keep warm during treatment.

We receive donation fabric from several organizations. There are larger pieces available to use as backing. Check with Karen Glassford or Cindy Huffman if you would like to use this donated fabric. If you are donating more than two quilts, and need batting, the Guild has some available.
