Hearts 'n Pieces had its first meeting on May 2, 2001. It was started by two friends: Kathy Glover and Karen Chiles, who thought Tracy, California could benefit from the formation of a quilt guild. They wanted to meet other quilters, have fun, and help the children in the community. The membership is small, but we have accomplished quite a bit.

During the first year, we made over 50 quilts for the children living at McHenry House, the local shelter for homeless families. We have made three different opportunity quilts for the local Wal-Mart, we split the profits; Wal-Mart's half goes to the Children's Miracle Network and the Tracy Quilt Guild's half went back into the children's fund to make more quilts and help children-in-need.

We meet the first Monday of every month at the Orchard Mobile Estates Clubhouse 812 West Clover Road in Tracy, California at 7:00 p.m. Visitors are always welcome, so come by and visit us.
