Giving Back to Our Community
The Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club’s members create quilts that are given to dozens of needy individuals and organizations throughout the year. Our Community Quilt Workday is on the last Wednesday of each month; members also work individually on community projects at their homes.
Our quilts are given to Clallam County residents who have experienced a crisis – perhaps a fire, flood or catastrophic illness. They are given to each family member of a new Habitat for Humanity home when the home is completed and the keys are presented to the family. They are given to local organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club, Red Cross, Food Bank, Olympic Medical Center, Dungeness Health and Wellness Free Clinic to raffle or auction for fund-raising.

JOY QUILTS
When children experience trauma or unwelcome transition in their lives, the professional responders seek to provide them with comfort as well as safety and security. Our club aids in this by providing Joy Quilts (a small, handmade quilt wrapped around a plush animal and tied with a ribbon) to Clallam County social service and law enforcement agencies and organizations.
In partnership with us is the Sequim Prairie Grange who supplies us with the stuffed animals. Since our program's inception in 2008 more than 5000 Joy Quilts have brought comfort to troubled hearts.

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS
Our members also make Christmas stockings for the Foster Children of Clallam County. These aren't just ordinary stockings. Each original, creative stocking is a work of art and love, reflecting the spirit of Christmas with colors and trimmings.
