Over the years NOTYQ has developed a tradition of making
Community Quilts. Recipients of these quilts include groups such as;
Women's Refuges
Family Crisis Centres
Special Needs Groups (e.g. Kosovo Refugees)
In the weekly meetings for one month per year, NOTYQ members
work in 'ad hoc' teams on the various stages of quilt making. These
workshops have their own atmosphere of creativity, teamwork and sense
of providing a worthwhile service to the community
Individual members who like to contribute but cannot attend
the Thursday workshops work on these quilts in their own time
 
These are given to the parents whose babies die during or
soon after birth. Parents may keep these quilts as a momento of the
special and brief time they spent with their child
  
At the annual retreat at Maldon, members were given some
fabric to make into blocks that will be made into quilts and donated
to Nursing Homes in the Maldon area
