The Cape Coral Quilt Guild will hold its annual “Blessing of the Quilts” at 11 a.m., Monday, March 6, at the Church of the Epiphany, 2507 Del Prado Blvd., S., in Cape Coral.

Since 2007, the 100-plus members of CCQC have annually donated several hundred handmade “comfort” quilts for distribution through such local organizations as the Cape Coral Police and Fire Depart-ments, hospitals nursing homes, hospices, cancer care centers and more.

These organizations then distribute the donated quilts to individual recipients in accordance to their mission statements.

CCQC members meet weekly at the church to prepare patterns and donated fabrics to sew these items in a labor of love and community support. The year’s efforts culminate in a gathering of the recipient organization representatives with a viewing of these beautiful quilts at 10 a.m., followed by an 11 a.m. ceremony in the church to bless the quilts.

The public is welcome to attend the viewing, as each quilt will be displayed over the church pews.

Members will be available for questions at the event.
