| Girl Guides of Canada Quilts needs to locate some Quilts – can you help??? |
 |
Girl Guides of Canada is celebrating their centennial this year and Quilt Canada has asked Girl Guides to put on a Special Exhibit "100 years of Guiding" in quilts. Girl Guides have been making quilts for years, but many have been made as service projects and given away to those in need. Others have been made as gifts for retiring Guiders while others have been raffled off to raise funds for camps and activities. |
So, although we have asked our Guiding members if they would like to display their quilts, we also know that there are many quilts ‘out there’ that do not belong to Guiding members, but perhaps some people would be willing to lend their ‘Guiding’ quilts to be displayed at the Quilt Canada 2010 show this year.
My Sewing Room is asking anyone with one or two of these "Guiding" quilts to email Edie Jubenville or call her directly (403)547-4742 for more information.
To learn more about the Girl Guides of Canada please visit their website www.girlguides.ca |
