Christmas in July

Posted on by

Another busy Christmas in July guild meeting. Four of our community partners joined us to receive our donations of quilts and pillow cases: My Sister’s Place, Matthew’s House Hospice, the Good Samaritan and the Alliston Foodbank. In total 101 Quilts of Comfort and 48 pillow cases were happily given out. We also held a mini food drive for MSP and members played Quilto…our version of bingo…to raise funds for the Foodbank. Lots of laughter, great snacks and warm hearts by sharing with our community.

Another enjoyable Sit n Sew for QCG. 23 gals spent the day working on community outreach and personal projects. The outreach focus included Quilts of Comfort for children, pillow cases and a Quilt of Valour. Lots of sewing, chatting and yummy treats were shared by all. Thanks to everyone who helped with set up, clean up, kit making and of course the time given towards our outreach goals.

QCG Annual General Meeting 2025

Posted on by
Another fun-filled, busy night for Quilting Corners Guild. The Annual General Meeting is an important time to ensure we have all of our executive positions filled. I am happy to say we do.  Jill will continue as Membership and we welcome Lucie into the role of Vice President.  Cheryl moves onto President and Tammy is now Past President. Janice, Siona and myself will continue as Treasurer, Secretary and Community Outreach respectively. We are sad to see Cathy leave the executive, for the first time in many years, but thank her for all of her time, effort and dedication to QCG. Looking forward to another exciting year ahead with our upcoming quilt show, sit ‘n’ sew days, meetings and camaraderie.

Community Outreach

Let a new year of community outreach begin! Thanks to Donna, who gave 2 days of her time, helping me kit up 38 sets of tops, backings, batting and bindings for distribution. That’s on top of 8 kits that have already gone out. So let the quilting and binding begin. Looking forward to seeing everyone at our February 4th meeting. All packed and ready to go. 😊
