Fall 2011-Spring 2012 OZARK PIECEMAKERS QUILT GUILD SCHOLARSHIP

Our Mission:

To promote a fellowship of those interested in the preservation and the sharing of the art of quilting.

Purpose:

To encourage community awareness of quilting and related arts.

To share our knowledge of the enjoyment of quilting.

To function as a 501C (3) non-profit.

The Ozark Piecemakers Quilt Guild was established in 1981 and has served the community of Springfield and the surrounding areas of 29 years. We continue to support: Bailey Alternative High School, Child Advocacy Center, Cox Hospital, Festival of Sharing, Harmony House, Ronald McDonald House, Southwest Center for Independent Living, St. John’s Hospital, The Kitchen, and Burn-out-Victims, Fund Raisers, and other Miscellaneous recipients. Our Doll Quilt program makes small quilts to give to Crosslines, which are distributed to children at Christmas. We also provide educational programs on the art/history of quilting, art quilts, wearable arts and fiber arts for the Library Center and local schools by request.

The Guild designs and constructs a donation quilt each year. The chances on these quilts are purchased by the community. Part of the proceeds from this quilt will be used to establish: The Ozark Piecemakers Quilt Guild Scholarship.

To award a scholarship each year to a design-related major attending a college or university in the greater Ozark area. Students must meet all criteria guidelines.

It is our goal to assist some deserving student with their education through our LOVE of quilting.
