Boulevard Quilters

The Boulevard Quilters have been meeting every week for over 30 years to hand quilt tops that others have pieced. A fee is charged based on the size of the quilt and amount of quilting. The money that is received is used to support mission projects.

When they don’t have tops from others to quilt, they work on quilts for Buckhorn. It is a residential facility located in Kentucky for children who have been abused and neglected or involved with the juvenile system. Children are placed there by the court. Buckhorn is affiliated with the Presbyterian church. The quilts were requested by Buckhorn to show children that they are important and loved. When a child leaves the facility, the quilt goes with them. So far the quilters have completed and mailed more than ten quilts over the years.

Participants build deep and lasting friendships while they share the satisfaction of creating beautiful quilts. New to quilting? No problem!

Join us every Wednesday in the loung from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Quilts for Buckhorn

The Presbyterian Women of Boulevard continue to fund materials to make quilts for children who are placed in residential care in Buckhorn, KY.

A  newsletter from Buckhorn Children and Family Services described the children who are placed there as follows: “The youth served are among the most at-risk in the state. For example, 90 percent of children have a parent with history of drug abuse, with 60 percent having used themselves; while 75 percent of children have a history of attempted suicide, and 80 percent of children have a history of sexual abuse.”
