strip Club
Upcoming Class
strip Club
The Strip Club is a fantastic way to build your stash. In the past three years, I have made 4 quilts and I still have a lot of strips to choose from.
I ask that the fabric is top quality 100% cot-ton. Fabric is cut WOF into 2 1/2 inch long strips.
Once we have confirmed the number of mem-bers participating in the ‘club, you will receive an email. You will be cutting one coloured strip per month for each member of the group. We hope to get a lot of people to join the ‘club’.
Colours can be solid or mixed—i.e.: floral etc.
September deep blue
October pink
November yellow
December light blue
January deep red
February purple
March green
April white
May orange
June LADIES CHOICE!
All strips are brought to the monthly meet-ings. Please bring the deep blue to the meet-ing in September. The following month you will receive an array of blue strips returned to you.
Dog Beds
Upcoming Class
strip Club
We gather up the scraps that have been donated make dog/cat beds for local shelters and veterinarian offices. We sew, sort, stuff and sew these bags then drive off and deliver them to the organizations who can use them!
Comfort Quilts
Comfort Quilts is a subgroup of our approximate 110 member quilt guild.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our quilts are created as a “hug” to the recipient from our quilting community.
VISION
To create quilts that provide comfort, security and warmth to those in need.
POLICIES
These quilts are meant as a gift directly to the recipient, who are primarily adults. Under no circumstances will a quilt be awarded as a prize, or as a raffle winning. No profit will be made from any of these quilts.
First and foremost we will supply a quilt to our members, and their loved ones. Should supplies permit, quilts will then be distributed to individuals and organizations that would benefit from one of these quilts.
CRITERIA
Those undergoing extensive long term cancer treatment.
Those suffering from a terminal illness.
Other life events such as a debilitating long term health condition.
The recipient must live within the guilds geographical area.
WHERE AND WHEN
We are now meeting at the Seniors Drop In Centre at 619 Bay Street, SSM.
The cost is $2 per person to join in and help us make quilts for various charities.
For new and returning members who are looking for a place to meet other quilters in a more intimate setting, our group may be just what you're looking for. The ladies who come are quilters at all levels, and more often than not most of us learn something new every time. We especially invite beginner quilters to join us. If you have the time and want to do some charity sewing we would love for you to join us from 10:15am - 3pm. Bring your lunch or lunch can be purchased
at the Centre for $7.
Our next sew days in 2025 are:
