York Heritage Quilters Guild
Community Quilt Group
In January 2010 the Community Quilters received feedback that approximately $1775.00 was raised by auctioning or raffling quilts donated by our guild. The following organizations received those quilt donations:
- Paddon Family Pediatric Stroke Fund Sick Kids $150.00
- Castleview Wynchwood Long term Care $473.00
- St. Dunstans of Canterbury (Anglican Church) $525.07
- Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Unionville Home Society (long term care) $250
- The Quilt- support for people living with cancer $225.
There are many ways you can get involved with making quilts to be donated to our community. You can join the Community Quilts Sewing group, which meets about twice a month to create and sew quilts to be given to people in need. Click here to go to the Community Quilts page.
In addition, each guild year we hold theCommunity Quilts Workshop night, when members offer their time, talent, and fabric to hand-stitch quilt blocks 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. Please see the Community Quilts page if you would like more information on how to apply for and receive a YHQG community quilt for your fund raising project.
