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! Always in Stitches, Senora 🪡

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.

Please note that our meeting for July will be on the 8th as Canada Day falls on the 1st.

Another enjoyable Sit n Sew for QCG. 23 gals spent the day working on community outreach and personal projects. The outreach focus included Quilts of Comfort for children, pillow cases and a Quilt of Valour. Lots of sewing, chatting and yummy treats were shared by all. Thanks to everyone who helped with set up, clean up, kit making and of course the time given towards our outreach goals.

Our Past President’s Challenge, led by Cathy D, came to an end this evening with Viewer’s Choice. Although all lovely finished quilts were revealed we must recognize our winners:

First Place – Kerry B
Second Place – Judy C
Third Place – Debbie C & Lucie L

Looking forward to seeing all of the completed challenge quilts in June at our Stitching Among Friends quilt show.

We are happy to report that our meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, Feb 11.

Here’s hoping the weather cooperates!

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.
