The Heritage Quilt Guild of Jonesboro has a long tradition of showing support to residents of Jackson Parish through a tremendously touching act of benevolence through their “Comfort Quilt” program. 

Once again, these wonderfully considerate and compassionate ladies have come to the aid of a local family by presenting Amy and Christ Tippen, who tragically lost their house due to a fire during the Christmas Holidays, their gift that was “Stitched with Love, Hope, and Healing

The Comfort Quilt Mission is just one of the several charity activities that the Heritage Quilt Guild provides to the community, including making Christmas stockings for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers and members, as well as “Lap Quilts” for local United States Veterans of Armed Services. 

Heritage Quilt Guild holds January Meeting

On the first Wednesday of every month, the Heritage Quilt Guild holds their monthly meeting at the Jonesboro-Hodge Methodist Church, located at 402 4th Street in Jonesboro.  On January 7th, a total of 28 members gathered to show their projects and take part in the program delivered by Debra Fordham.

To the joy of all in attendance, Fordham shared a very special story detailing how she had made her 99-year-old neighbor, Mary Morgan, a heartfelt gift she calls a “Quilted Hug.” Mary graciously modeled the quilt for us, making the moment extra meaningful and memorable.
