Special Projects

Each Quarter the LVQG supports a special project.

2026 Q1 Project of the Quarter is designated in support of the guilds ongoing efforts for Project 150- Homeless Teens Non-profit Organization.

Don't forget to collect any small scraps from your cutting table. Use them to stuff pet beds for our local no kill shelter.  Scraps of fabric can be put into an old pillowcase or something you have made from your fabric stash.  Fill the case loosely then sew end shut. Bring it to our Monthly meeting for our Charity committee to take to the no kill shelters.

We also participate in the Quilts of Valor program for our Nevada Service Men and Women.  You can help by sewing blocks or a quilt top or volunteer to quilt a donated top.  Donations of red, white, cream, gold, blue and patriotic fabric is gladly accepted.  

For more information contact Louise Davenport at dennilou@msn.com or call 405-740-0547.

Isolate Covers and quilts are donated to the NICUs and Pediatric departments at area hospitals.

Isolate covers measure between 30” square to 40 “ square to protect the baby’s eyes from the bright hospital lighting.

School Supplies, Toiletry items, laundry soap and other grooming aids are collected at the monthly meetings. Also, nonperishable food items that can be carried in backpacks, such as fruit roll ups, pop top cans of fruit, pudding cups, instant oatmeal and granola bars are appreciated. Items go to Project 150 to be distributed to over 6,000 homeless high school students in over 58 schools in Southern NV.

The LVQ Guild’s Project of the Quarter for Fall 2025 was participating in the Pad Project for Girls in Africa.

The project tackles period poverty by providing reusable or affordable sanitary pads, often combined with menstrual health education, to keep girls in school and combat stigma. Initiative empowers communities to sew their own, creating sustainable solutions against missed education, health risks, and early marriage. 

LVQ members hosted a Learning how to use a sewing machine and making a tote bag workshop for the Southern Nevada Girl Scouts in January 2026.

We provided thread, fabric, and a sewing kit for each participant to take home. Upon completing their projects, participants in grades 6–12 earned a Sewing Badge.

The Girl Scouts quilt project consisted of making quilts for the Girl Scout Camp in Lincoln County. To date, 72 quilts were completed and donated.

The LVQ was invited to craft a special tree skirt for Nevada’s 52’ red fur named the “Silver Belle” of which was presented at the US Capital in Washington, D.C. The journey of the tree is documented in a PBS Special, “From Nevada”.

To assist with operating and administrative expenses and educational programs for the Guild, the LVQG hosts an Opportunity Quilt Fundraising Raffle throughout the year. Raffle tickets sold at meetings and other LVQG activities are available to members and the public. The winning ticket is drawn at the end of each calendar year.
