Sisters of the Heart. You don't have to quilt to join. About 4 times/year people sign up to make 1 square top piece for a quilt that will ultimately be donated. The quilt has a theme, like Christmas, Spring, Fall and it may be a different type like pieced or appliqued. Everyone sends their square top (unquilted) along with a voluntary donation to cover expoenses toone of the more experienced quilters who puts it togeter. Before it is assembled, we have a vblind vote on PIX of the individual squares and the winner of that vote gets the quilt to donate to the charity of her/his choice.
SOH has a ballad. It was written using a set of defined words that had to be included in a contest (that Inky won). There is also a soap (handmade and cut) that maria (AKA: Mistirose) sells at her on-line shop that donates $1/bar back to the group. There is a signiture block label (that Barefoot T/Thunder designed in contest) that goes on every quilt. SOH also makes stuffed toys in compliance with safety regulations that get donated to fire departments to hand out to kids.
I'd really like to see this group grow.
Here are some links:

Anyway these should give you some idea of what it is about. Fun, good members, many amatures (like myself ....I will never win a quilt to donate but I love learning this way.
Here's the logo, soap, and Inky's ballad (it won the vote but they gave me the prize...he did get a Gray Hare in the mailbox though, usually that only happens to me!):
