Sit n Sew – 23 March 2024

We had a great turnout today for our first Sit n Sew of 2024!  22 gals came out to work on Community Outreach projects, personal projects and just have some quality chat time with friends. 21 quilt piecing kits were distributed and all but 1 were picked up and worked on. As the pictures show there were lots of stitches put in place, as 17 quilt tops were completed and the remainder went home for finishing touches. Lots of happy faces and busy hands. Thanks to everyone for a good day. Hope to see you at our next Sit n Sew on June 15th.

Annual General Meeting – 2024

Well last night was a jam packed meeting for Quilting Corners Guild.  Lots of members, guests, a speaker from Grandmother’s Embrace, heaps of Community Outreach and Show n Tell, a fun game, demos and of course the AGM for elections. Thank you to the 2023 executive members for all of their time and dedication to this very prolific and action packed guild.  We welcome our 2024 executive…who look very similar…just a little mix up in roles!  Below we see the exchange of the official guild rotary cutter from Past President Cathy to President Tammy, and a pic of the executive.  Thank you to Cheryl for taking on the role of VP once again, and all of the gals who will continue to work toward a full roster of events and activities for 2024. Looking forward to the things already in motion!

Raffles

Quilting Corners Guild holds a raffle every other year in tandem with our quilt show, Stitching Among Friends. Last evening was the conclusion of the raffle with the draw for two winners…congratulations to Peggy F winning the blue quilt, Tropical Breezes, and Tracy A winning Strawberry Fields. Both quilts were created and generously donated by guild member Arlene G.  Along with the quilt prizes the raffle generates funds to be shared with the guild and two of our community partners.  Cheryl presented a monetary donation to Pam and Amber, My Sister’s Place and Matthew’s House Hospice, respectively. Lovely quilts, lucky winners and worthy programs…all winners!

October Guild Meeting

Well last week’s guild was a success…a really interesting and informative presentation on Scrappy Quilts, accolades for our mini retreat days and the biggest Community Intake to date.  I have tried to capture the ‘haul’ below…40 quilts, 6 quilt tops, 40 stockings, 13 pillow cases, and 1 quilt for an auction. Also a box of handmade stuffed animals and cloth books are in safe storage with a guild member. We are well on our way with knot bags and heart pillows too…22 bags and 20 pillows arrived last night, to add to the already completed ones. Add all of this to the 40 quilts already sorted and bagged for December.  What an impressive effort! Thank you to all of the busy hands in Quilting Corners Guild. 👏👏

Sit n Sew Aug 26

On August 26th, members and guests, of Quilting Corners Guild gathered for a day of community outreach at the 3rd Sit n Sew of 2023. They took on a new focus for the guild to support Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka and make heart pillows and knot bags for mastectomy kits.  The kits will be distributed by Gilda’s Club to local hospitals for patients recovering from breast cancer surgery. Sixteen gals worked at various stations cutting pillow covers and knot bags, stuffing pillow inserts, and sewing covers and bags. Lots of kits were completed and many parts went home to be completed.  A very successful and enjoyable day for an important program. Thank you to everyone who participated and those who prepared and organized the day.
