We support several important projects including Quilts for Vets and Victory Junction. Learn more about these below.
We promote quilting in our community through our biannual quilt show as well as offering beginning quilting classes (usually offered in early spring).
Hearts and Hands is part of the Extension and Community Association (ECA) of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service in Lee County. The volunteers of ECA partner with the Family and Consumer Science program of Lee County Extension. For more information about the programs of Lee County Center and FSC please visit the state website: https://fcs.ces.ncsu.edu/eca-3/
or the county website: https://lee.ces.ncsu.edu/
As a non-profit organization, community service is part of our undertakings.
Victory Junction:We donated 67 quilts for children at Victory Junction in April of 2025. We hope to break the record in 2026. (Guidelines can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.)
Quilts for Vets: We honored 14 veterans with patriotic quilts in 2025. Guild members are encouraged to participate by making a quilt for the veterans, or making blocks for these quilts. Quilts should be ~ 60 x 76 inches.
We donated 20 pillowcases to Ryan's Case for Smiles in May 2023.
NICU: Quilts should be 36" x 36", 100% cotton fabric, batting, and thread; please do not use minky or metalic fabric or thread.
We have provided quilts to organizations for use and to raise funds through raffles.
We have made financial donations to Hurricane Relief, Camp Royall Scholarship Fund, and collected supplies to be donated to Haven House.
We hold beginning quilting workshops every year, and include classes, demonstrations, and workshops for members during the monthly meetings.
We usually meet on the first and third Saturdays of the month for a Sew Day. At noon on the first Saturday, we break for a guild meeting. Dates and locations for meetings may be changed due to holidays or conflicts. Check the Calendar page for possible changes.
We gather at the McSwain Agricultural Center in Sanford.
