It is a fun group to belong to.\u201d\"Glendale<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loving Hands<\/em> is the name of the guild\u2019s committee that makes and donates quilts to worthy causes. They provide hundreds of quilts each year to various organizations including\u00a0 LAC\/USC Hospital, Glendale Adventist Hospitals, Veteran\u2019s\u00a0 Residential Facility, Alzheimer\u2019s\u00a0 Disease\u00a0 Cooperative Study, Family Promise of East San Fernando Valley, Glendale YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter, Kaiser Hospice, MEND and the Foster Care Project at All Saints\u2019 Episcopal Church Pasadena.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carol Andrews is the \u201cbeloved member and founder\u201d of the Glendale Quilt Guild and the Glendale Quilt Guild annual Quilt Show and Retreat. \u00a0In 1979, after attending a quilt conference in Palo Alto, California, Carol decided that \u201cWe need a quilt show in Glendale.\u201d Carol enlisted the help of her quilt students and organized the First Annual Quilt Show of Glendale in 1980 at the YWCA on Lexington Avenue in Glendale. One of the vendors at that first show was none other than Road\u2019s Carolyn Reese<\/span><\/strong>, who owned the Fabric Patch at the time.\u00a0Carol oversaw the quilt show in Glendale for three years before turning full responsibility for the show over to the guild. \u00a0\"Glendale<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme for this year\u2019s show is Home Is Where The Quilt Is<\/em>. Their opportunity quilt, which was on display on Saturday at Road to California, has at its focal point, a log cabin house surrounded by log cabin blocks. The main quilt blocks were sewn by members of the guild with fabric donated by guild members. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road to California is pleased to announce that the Glendale Quilt Guild \u00a0has been selected as the featured Southern California Quilt Guild for Road 2016. The guild will be responsible for providing the quilts for the special atrium exhibit \u00a0located in the Arcade of the Ontario Convention Center. Congratulations, Glendale Quilt Guild!!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
