Fantasy of Trees

The Guild has participated in the Fantasy of Trees, a Knoxville annual tradition raising money for the Dolly Parton Children's Hospital since 1986.

 

Each year, the Guild is delighted to donate a fully decorated tree to the fundraiser. The purchase of the tree by event attendees benefits the hospital.

 

The members of the Guild take great care in selecting a tree theme and stitching hundreds of beautiful ornaments and decorative items each year that match the theme.
