20th Anniversary Challenge

Posted on by
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)
– quilting
– no size restrictions
– your imagination
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!🪡

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.
Always in stitches, Senora🪡

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.
Always in Stitches, Senora🪡

Sit n Sew Aug 26

Posted on by
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.
Always in stitches, Senora 🪡
