Guild Challenge

Posted on by
Another very busy guild evening for QCG last evening. One of our activities was the reveal for our Panel Challenge, in which members demonstrated their creativity using a panel kit.  Members and guests had the opportunity to select their favorite of the 14 quilts on display. Congratulations went to Sally, Joanne and Dianne for their panel success, with Dianne capturing the first place ribbon. All of the panel quilts will be completed and donated to our community partners. Thank you to Tammy and Janice for initiating the challenge, and to all of the participants who took on the challenge.

Summer Sit ‘n Sew

Posted on by
Another successful Sit n Sew for Quilting Corners Guild. 21 gals arrived armed with their machines and enthusiasm ready to sew. 13 quilt tops completed, along with several in progress that went home with the stitchers. Also 24 pillow cases were done. A couple of gals worked on stuffing and completing the heart pillows and knot bags for mastectomy kits, as we complete our commitment for this project. Lots of laughs and snacks to fill the day. Thank you to all of our participants from start to finish.

Christmas in July – 2024

Posted on by

Well Christmas in July was awesome, very busy, but so enjoyable for our guests and our members. We are always so proud and pleased to share our creativity and hard work with our community partners: The Alliston Foodbank, Matthew’s House Hospice, My Sister’s Place, The Good Samaritan and Simcoe Manor.  Altogether 122 Quilts of Comfort were donated to these important local partners. As an extra special addition to the evening we were able to share the it with some of our recipients who came to visit from Simcoe Manor. Thank you to all of our members, and friends of QCG, who work together to make such an important event possible. We are already busy preparing quilts and planning ahead for our December donations.

Delightful Surprise!

Posted on by
On June 6th Simcoe Manor hosted a lovely thank you tea for the members of Quilting Corners Guild. Today they invited Pam and I for a delightful surprise, a monetary donation to put towards our quilts.  A big thank you to Wayne and Marilyn, president and vice president, of the Residents Council for their generosity. We will put those dollars to good use and continue to make quilts and share them with others in our community.

Quilts of Valour Donation

Posted on by

On June 4th Quilting Corners Guild presented 18 quilts to Quilts of Valour – Canada. The quilts are a labour of love and creativity made by members of QCG and volunteers who attend the sew days hosted by our local quilt shop, Country Concessions.  Our regional rep, Elizabeth, was there to receive the quilts which will then be presented to Canadian Armed Forces members, ill or injured, past and present. A sincere thank you goes out to our guild members, friends of the guild and Cynthia, of Country Concessions, for all the many hands, hours and contributions provided to make this special donation possible.

Road Trip!

Road trip anyone?

Yesterday was Quilting Corners Guild’s first bus trip in a few years.  What a success! 42 happy travelers enjoyed 2 quilt shops and a lovely quilt show, snacks, friendship and of course shopping!  A great big thank you to Cheryl for initiating, organizing and hosting the trip and coordinating with Donna on the bus, games, welcome bundles and prizes. Thanks also goes out to members who contributed our many prizes and Banting Memorial HS Hospitality for our snacks. It was lots of fun all around.

Sit n Sew – 23 March 2024

Posted on by
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.
