Community Quilters The local quilt guild, Community Quilters, meets once a month at the Beachwood Library to express their love of quilting. They discuss patterns and share their work and, at times, their fabric. Then, twice a year, they get together to assemble quilts to be donated for worthwhile causes. Also, each fall, the members participate in an instructional workshop taught by various local quilt instructors. Member Ellen Saltz, who was introduced to quilting by a friend, explained, “We are a service-oriented group and our major focus is directed towards local charity.” Saltz went on to tell us that she finds quilting to be challenging, and she is hooked. In addition to participating with this group, she donates quilts to Project Linus at Akron Children's Hospital. There are about 20 members in this guild, which is moderated by Jeannie Chaney. Last year, they donated about 60 quilts. The group meets on the first Thursday of each month, at 7 p.m., at the Beachwood Library. Interested parties are encouraged to become involved. For more information, contact Saltz at 216.401.6720 or efs271@sbcglobal.net.
