York Heritage Quilters Guild
Community Quilt Night
The October meeting of every guild year is the Community Quilts Workshop night, and is a chance to meet new people and have fun working together while enjoying refreshments and the good company of other quilters. Smaller groups or individual members transform the blocks into quilts which we donate to selected organizations in the community for fund-raising purposes. If you would like more information on how to apply for and receive a YHQG community quilt for your fund raising project, please refer to the Community Quilts Policy.
This year, Community Quilt night is October 21st. Please join us in offering your time and talent to hand-stitch quilt blocks. Please bring hand sewing supplies, and a small ruler and pencil to mark the pieces. You will be hand-piecing units for the community quilters to turn into blocks for comfort quilts and quilts for fundraising. There will be appliqué tables, and a table to hand sew bindings. There will be treats, and coffee and tea too, so please bring a mug.
Also, remember to bring in your comfort quilts, whatever stage they are in, and we will have a parade of comforts. We have several organizations requesting comfort quilts this year.
Contact Val Taylor if you would like to participate.
