We have many fine quilters and sewers in NCN but every month many of our members take part in giving back to the community by helping to quilt community quilts, produce kits and blocks for future quilts, create fidget quilts for the memory impaired, pillowcases for youngsters in hospitals,  and dog beds for pets awaiting new homes.  A big thank you to everyone for giving your time, material, expertise and love to make our world a better place!
