Baby Quilts
The Guild members enjoy making quilts of all sizes and descriptions, there is always a special joy in creating small quilts for babies! This project gives each of us an opportunity to create lovely work on a smaller scale and to share them with little ones who might not have a special "blankie" yet. Individual members create the quilts and bring them to meetings, then they are donated for new moms at the Siloam Springs Regional Hospital Nursery and other locations as the needs are found.
Quilts of Honor
Dogwood Quilters Guild loves to give back to the veterans who sacrificed so much for our freedom. We have chosen to honor hospitalized victims of PTSD at our local veterans hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Pet Shelter Quilts
It means a lot to us that our furry friends at our local animal shelters have a comfortable cushion to nuzzle in to
feel safe and warm until they find their forever homes!

The Demand Project
The Demand Project is a collaboration with CCF and DQG, to provide a quilt for each girl rescued from sex trafficking. Because we want to protect survivors dignity and keep them safe from harm, other information about where we take the quilts is classified.
The Opportunity Quilt
Every other year the guild cooperatively creates an opportunity to fund our charities in the style of a quilting bee. This means each member in the guild contributes a block or quilting service (like binding or longer,) to build a queen size quilt that we sell tickets to win. Tickets are on sale in 2022 from April to November, you must acquire them from a member or at a meeting. The winner need not be present to win but will be drawn the first Saturday of November 2022.
Covid-19 Pandemic Mask Donations
During the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, Dogwood Quilters created and donated several thousand masks to local longterm healthcare facilities, hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and indigenous reservations in the U.S.
