Mission
This group's primary mission is to make baby quilts for newborns at BayHealth Hospital and A.I. DuPont Children's Clinic in Milford. Larger quilts are made and given to Habitat for Humanity when new homeowners move in.
Quilt kits are always available at guild meeting to be sewn at home. Contact the coordinator for more information.
