Special Projects

Each Quarter the LVQ support a special project.

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 are also donated to the NICUs 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.

Founded in 2007, Living Grace Homes is a nonprofit organization recognized as an indispensable program in Clark County, Nevada. Providing a safe haven for young, pregnant, homeless women between the ages of 14-24, LGH provides food, shelter, transportation, guidance and education. Donations of baby quilts, Onesies and toys are appreciated.

Pillowcases in COTTON or FLANNEL are delivered to Children at the Local Hospitals and Fisher House. Burrito Pillowcase Pattern in link. Bring the washed and ironed pillowcase in a plastic gallon bag to the Monthly meeting.

The Fisher House provides high quality temporary lodging to families of veterans or active duty service members who are undergoing inpatient or extensive outpatient treatment at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System or Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center at Nellis AFB.

Donations of Pillowcases and Quilts are greatly appreciated.

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

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 includes making close to 100 quilts.

LVQ were invited to craft a special tree skirt for Nevada’s 52’ red fur named the “Silver Belle” . The journey of the tree is documented in a PBS Special, “From Nevada”.
