We have created some kits that can be picked up at my house,
in the garage, to avoid personal contact. We send the completed tops to a group
in Mississauga who then supply the batting and do the long arm quilting. We put
the name of the Guild and your name on a label which is then attached to the
finished quilt. Several of our quilts have been featured on Facebook when they
are presented to the recipients. Our quilt donations remain in the Toronto
area.
We greatly appreciate any help you can give us in completing
a quilt top. As mentioned kits can be picked up from my garage and dropped off
upon completion. Please send me an email to let me know you are coming so I can
put a selection of kits in the garage.
February 2022 Update
If you find
some fabric in your stash that you are no longer in love with or like me you
wonder why you bought it in the first place, please drop it off because we can
certainly match it up with something and create more kits.
January 2022 Update
Congratulations Ladies. 44 quilt tops were delivered to our contact lady ready to be quilted. She was very impressed and over joyed at our contribution. There is an overwhelming need for these quilts and thanks to your continued support we are able to make this contribution.
Our sew day on November 11th yielded many poppy blocks and Kathie has been busy assembling them into quilt tops. Well done and again thank you for your support.
Kits are always available in my garage for contactless pick up and drop off. Remember to help yourself to 2 fat quarters from the basket for every quilt top you drop off. Please attach a paper with your name so I can make sure your name goes on the finished label.
We are getting very low on fabric. If you have any fabric you would like to donate to the cause it would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped off in my garage. It is amazing how different fabrics can be blended and matched up to create a very pleasing effect so if you have something you purchased a few years ago and now wonder why you did, we can match it up to something else.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, stay safe and happy sewing.
