March is Quiltie Month
The Arnprior & District Quilters’ Guild is hosting a special challenge for the month of March: members are invited to make as many “quilties” (also known as preemie quilts) as they can. These small quilts will be lovingly donated to the Almonte Hospital to support newborns and their families.
Our March 25th Zoom guild meeting will be a Sew-along to make a Quiltie (or make more than one!) To add a little friendly fun, we’ve challenged the Almonte Guild to see which guild can make the most Quilties by the end of March. We did a great job against the Renfrew guild last year, let’s show Almonte what we’re made of! While we’ll certainly enjoy the spirit of the challenge, the real winners are the babies and families who will receive these handmade quilts. Every quilt made from our guilds will be a gift of warmth, comfort, and community care. For information about making Quilties (preemies) see the Charity page. February Guild Meeting

December Guild Meeting
On a very snowy night some of our members bundled up and made it to the meeting. The hall was filled with holiday cheer, delicious dishes for our potluck dinner table, and plenty of Christmas fun during our Christmas trivia contest!
