Cozy Quilt Project
I am Nancy Eide, I have lived in the valley for 30 years. I have one child, Alida, 2010 Rotary Exchange Student that went to Denmark. My husband and I are celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary in August!
I am recently retired from Valley View Hospital after working 17 years as the Valet Manager. As patients came for chemotherapy a common statement was how cold they were during their treatment. I belong to the Roaring Fork Quilt Guild and an idea struck me. Why not make lap quilts for patients to use and have during their treatment. I presented the idea to the Guild and the “Cozy Quilts Project” was created in May of 2025. All quilts are made by 38 local quilters.
The quilts are made with fabric purchased by the members of the Guild and some donations from community members. An average quilt will cost $150 plus labor.
160 quilts have been made since the inception of the program with 110 quilts presented to Cancer patients
We are looking for backers for this project. We now have a fund set up with 2 Rivers Community Foundation to help with any donations received.
