The Boca Raton Garden Club will partner with Quilt Guild by The Sea to present A Quilt Auction on Friday April 5th at 3PM at the Garden Club’s Clubhouse, 4281 Northwest 3rd Ave in Boca Raton. This Quilt Auction is free and light refreshments will be served,

Quilt Guild by the Sea began in 2011 with a group of six women with a common interest in quilting, sharing ideas, community service, and fellowship. The Guild now has over 100 members.

“We are pleased to be able to showcase some of the work of our very talented members and offer their quilts for auction to the community.” Said Linda Eddy, President of Quilt Guild by the Sea. “We want to promote the art of quilting as well as raise some money for both the Guild and the Garden Club’s charities.

Members have found a way to enjoy their craft and help others. Former Guild President Sarah Crew, who is chairing this event explained, “This is our first auction and the profits from the quilts sold will help to fund our many quilting projects.”

These charities include handmade “Comfort Quilts” donated to patients in Nursing Homes and Cancer Treatment Centers, little coverlets for incubator babies and small “fidget” quilts - used to help calm Alzheimer patients. The Guild also proudly creates “Quilts of Valor” for Veterans of all branches of our Armed Forces.
