| Latest News from the Region Of York Quilters Guild |
- This year, the Region of York Quilters Guild turns 25 years young! A quarter of a century - we are very thankful to the quilters who had the foresight to start our guild. The Executive is planning a few celebrations as the year progresses.
- Our Guild is featured in the Focus on Guilds section of the Summer 2010 Canadian Quilters Association Newsletter! The article, written and submitted by member and Historian Lyn Moore, is entitled YORK QUILTERS GUILD MARATHON and includes great pictures of some of our members at work. The article focuses on our journey from Susan Cox's donation of the quilt top through to completion of the quilting and donation to Doane House Hospice for a raffle. To quote Lyn, "projects such as this prove just how much a
small group of dedicated quilters can do to
give back to their communities and make a
real difference in the lives of others." Many thanks to all who participated and supported our efforst.
- Members: The 2010-2011 membership renewal form is now on the Members' Section Page.
