Quilts of Valour Presentation

Posted on by

Quilting Corners Guild presented an impressive array of quilts for Quilts of Valour Canada on June 2, 2026.  Thirty-two beautiful quilts in a range of designs and colours were displayed and given to our regional rep, Elizabeth.  Our thanks goes to the many creative hands involved in piecing, long-arming and binding these important hugs for those who have served our country. Thank you also goes to Country Concessions Quilt Shop for giving us their classroom for gals to meet, sew quilt tops and socialize for this important endeavor. I am always filled with pride when I see the culmination of work created by this guild.

Sit ‘n Sew – May 30

Posted on by
Another successful Sit n Sew is done! On May 30th 17 members gave their time and talent to work on a variety of quilting projects for Community Outreach or individual projects. Thank you to everyone for a good day of sewing, chatter and snacks. Also thanks to those who brought finished outreach projects from home, for setting up and tidy up. Always impressed by the culmination of work when we pull together!

How time flies! Quilting Corners Guild has reached its 20th year promoting, celebrating and sharing all things quilt related. So we have launched a challenge to members: make a quilt! The quilt must reflect ‘20’ in any way. Challenge parameters include:
– represent 20
– guild colours – blue & yellow (optional)

The reveal will be at our September 1st guild meeting.   We look forward to an array of submissions. Check out our sample quilts by Lucie and Senora. Happy quilting!🪡

April Sit n Sew

April Sit n Sew had the best attendance yet!
Another successful Sit n Sew for Community Outreach. Twenty-four gals, many regulars and happily several first timers, joined the day to create kids quilts, a few pillow cases and a Quilt of Valour.  Thank you to Donna, Cheryl and the many hands who looked after set up, tidy up and kit distribution. Sadly I was unable to attend, but I am looking forward to the next outreach day on May 30th.

Annual General Meeting

Posted on by

March 3rd was the Annual General Meeting for Quilting Corners Guild.  As all meetings, it was filled with quilting tips, show and tell, snacks and fun, and the business of renewing executive positions.  Thanks went to Tammy for her contributions over the past 3 years, and to Cheryl as she moves to the Past President role. We welcomed Roxanne to executive as the new Vice President, and look forward to the year ahead with Lucie at the helm as President. Treasury, secretary, membership and community outreach will continue in the capable hands of Janice, Siona, Jill and Senora. Without executive to plan and organize monthly meetings and events we could not continue, so a round of applause to this great group of gals for their ongoing commitment to QCG!

Guild Raffle Draw Winners

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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.
