Community
Quilts
Over
the years, members of the Guild have designed, made and donated many
quilts to charitable groups in the Brockville, Ontario area for use as
fund-raisers. The recipient groups include the Alzheimer’s Society, Big
Brothers Association of Leeds & Grenville, Brockville Public Library,
Girl Guides, The Friendship Centre, May Court Club of Brockville,
Brockville Museum, Homewood Museum, Fulford Place Museum, St. Lawrence
Lodge, Brockville General Hospital Auxiliary, Interval House and Habitat
for Humanity.
Small
articles, such as book bags for the Brockville Library, placemats for
Meals on Wheels, quilted purses for the Big Sisters Association, baby
quilts for the hospital and pot holders for the Lung Association, have
been made and donated.
For
several years the Guild made quilts for an orphanage in the Chausy area of
Belarus and hundreds of quilts were made and donated to Canadian Aid for
Chernobyl.
The
Blue Trunk - Block of the
Month In
the same year we revived our Block of the Month program. Each month
members make one or more of the chosen quilt block and donate the blocks
to the Community Quilts Committee. The blocks are then pieced and quilted,
and added to the Blue Trunk.
