January 2018 Meeting Highlights

1/30/2018

 
We kicked off the new year with our annual hands on charity project night at our January meeting. It was a very busy evening with three activities to choose from: 
  • Auction quilt for the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital
  • Arms for Hugging project for patients receiving palliative care
  • Cutting & assembling kits for wheelchair lap quilts and preemie quilts.
​​
Thanks to all of the members who took kits for blocks for the auction quilt at our December meeting and then brought in the completed blocks.

Our guild receives a lot of generously donated fabric so there was lots of fabric to cut up and assemble into kits for wheelchair lap quilts and preemie quilts.   It was a whirlwind of activity with many hands (and cutters) at work!
