COMMUNITY SERVICE
Fairfax QU made and donated more than 327 quilts from July 2018 through June 2019 and 177 quilts from July 2019 through June 2020. We provided 154 soldiers quilts. We gave 192 small NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) quilts primarily to Fairfax and Fair Oaks hospitals and 158 quilts for adults and children at shelters.
For additional information about Community Service, contact Dottie Dane.
FAIRFAX QU CHALLENGES
Our thrice-yearly challenges address things quilters are interested in, i.e. stash-busting, new techniques and color/design, in no particular order. We hope to give people a little bump to try something new.
