Guild Raffle Draw Winners
QCG launched their bi-annual quilt raffle at our quilt show in June. We wrapped it up last evening with the draw for each quilt. Congratulations to Sally B, winning the beautiful sampler quilt, created and donated by Arlene G. Also, congratulations to Jean T, winning the lovely red, black and white quilt created by a group of guild members. Warm thoughts and thank you to all who participated in the creation of the quilts, selling and buying of tickets, and of course our fortunate winners.

Giving Tuesday at QCG
Giving Tuesday at Quilting Corners Guild was certainly a success. Quilts of Comfort, quilted stockings and pillow cases were the main event and shared with our community partners: My Sister’s Place, Matthew’s House Hospice, The Good Samaritan and the Alliston Foodbank. We also gave cheques to MSP and the AFB from the proceeds of our quilt raffle. Members stepped up, as always, and gave generously to a mini food and toiletry drive for MSP and socks and hand warmers for SHIFT. This was all topped off with a few rounds of QUILTO, our version of bingo, to raise funds for the Foodbank. Thank you to everyone for their creativity, participation and generosity.
Have a safe and joyous festive season.

Quilts of Valour Presentation
Another busy night at guild beginning with our presentation of 25 Quilts of Valour to Elizabeth, our regional rep. The quilts are a combined effort of the QoV Sew Days at Country Concessions Quilt Shop and the dedication of our members and friends of the guild. Beautiful work and commitment by all. These quilts will become the hugs for military personnel to thank them for their years of service to Canada. 
A heartfelt thank you to the many hands that made this presentation possible.

Sit n Sew- Oct 2025
Well our fourth and final guild sew day of 2025 is all done. 21 members came together to sew, chat and enjoy eachothers company on behalf of our community outreach program. Our focus was quilted Christmas stockings and pillow cases. We did an awesome job creating 43 stockings and 9 pillow cases, with many more in progress that went home for completion. Thank you to all of the participants for their ongoing time and dedication to outreach, and of course the snacks and laughs.

Quilts of Valour Presentation – 2025
At our guild meeting on October 7th we had the honour and privilege to watch one of our very own be presented with her Quilt of Valour. Deborah Martin served 20 years in the Regular Force and 28 years as a Department of National Defence employee, for a total of 48 years service to her country. It was interesting to see the 3 steps of the presentation, the quilt presented folded, the opening of the quilt and the wrapping of the quilt around Deborah, giving her a hug from our nation. Presenting the QoV was Amanda Holt from the Transition Unit Borden, wrapping the quilt around Deborah were friends Pam Carbonneau and Jennifer McDougall, also present was Liz Seamans, QoV Rep, friends Kathy Walker, Bob Hurley and Cheryl Dobo and all the members of the guild. Congratulations Deborah and thank you for your service!
