The Ancaster Quilter's Guild

Comfort Quilts

The winter weather we have experienced over the past while has surely put us in the mood to do some quilting in our warm and cozy homes.  A big thank-you to everyone who took home quilt kits to piece together for our outreach programs.  Numerous pieced tops were returned in January and have been kitted up for quilting in February and beyond. 

Special thank-yous go out to Colleen Dawson, Mary Crowe, Linda Young and Marjorie Weber who take these tops and quilt them for us.  If anyone else would like to practice their quilting, please see us about taking one of our quilts home with you.  A number of other ladies return their piecing kits with the quilt already quilted and binding in place.  Thank-you to these women also and to the  ladies who take the quilts and finish the binding by hand for us. 

In January, seventeen quilts were taken by our quilters to hand bind.  Also to note, last month we were able to provide Victoria Quilts with five pieced quilt tops for their program supporting cancer patients.  We hope to continue to support them in coming months.  Again we will have several quilt kits available for piecing at the table at our February meeting.  Please join in our efforts to provide comfort to those in need in our community.

With thanks,

Ann, Cathy and Karen
