Community Quilters

The Community Quilters have, yet again, provided wonderful quilts to people in distress. The quilts below were given to patients at a Nursing Home in Toronto.

These stark pictures with nothing in the room but the bed and the quilt are actual patient rooms at the nursing home. The quilts are the only 'personal' possessions of the occupants who are in the palliative care unit. Vija Mallia writes: "Once again I would like to thank the York Heritage Guild for the generous and very welcome gift of quilts to be used by residents in the Home who are in the Comfort Care (Palliative Care) Program. At the end of life the quilts serve to brighten the spirits of the residents as well as their rooms."

Margaret Mitchell, chair of Community Quilts this past year, says "How can we not continue to make quilts for them? Even if we do not consider our work special, someone does appreciate it."
