QUILTING
Every last Wednesday of the month

Organized by: Barbara Maxwell

Next Meeting: CANCELLED
Wednesday - May 29th - 7:30-9:30p.m.
Location:
Lynwood Community Building (7 Sycamore)

We are in the process of making quilts for "Victoria's Quilts Canada". This nonprofit organization provides quilts for those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. The small quilts help to better regulate body temperature. Donations of 100% cotton material and flannel would be greatly appreciated.

Note from the coordinator- May 28, 2002:

Hello everyone,

Most of you know that tomorrow is our scheduled Quilting Night for Victoria's Quilts.

I'm afraid to say that for a number of reasons, it will have to be cancelled....

I hope this won't deter you from coming back in the fall. I am going to try to find a larger and brighter facility for our use next year.

...If anyone is interested in working on something over the summer, let me know as there are plenty of supplies available.

Will be back in touch,

Barbara


Note from the coordinator- Sept 21st. 2001:

On Wednesday the 19th we held our group at the Lynwood Park Retirement Lodge. Five of us and approx. 10 seniors joined together to work on quilts. The seniors that came enjoyed helping with pinning and tie-quilting. Holding our meeting there not only helped us, it also helped the seniors. The room was bright and clean and able to accommodate a large group.

The unfortunate part about meeting at the Lodge is they are unable to accommodate us on a regular basis. As such, I have made the decision to return our regular meeting date to the last Wednesday of the month at Lynwood Community Center - 7 Sycamore jDr. There will be exceptions to this date i.e. - October 24th (31st is Halloween), and December 19th (26th is Boxing Day). We can decide in November if we will meet in December, but for now the dates are set.

When we meet next we can decide whether or not we wish to continue a second night on a random basis at the Lynwood Retirement Lodge. Please put some thought to it and advise via email: [email protected].

Please note - in case you haven't already heard - that Victoria's Quilts will be holding a second QUILT-A-THON on Sunday, October 14th from 1:00 - 8:00 PM at the Bells Corners United Church (same place as last time), 3955 Richmond Rd. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis this time with a Registration Deadline of Oct. 7th. You can register on-line at: www.victoriasquiltscanada.com or at one of the following locations: Sew For It, Quilts and Seams, The Running Stitch.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Until next time...Happy quilting!

Barbara
Victoria Quilts Coordinator.

Friday's 40 minute visits to local retirement centers
Click here to view pictures of these visits

Do you want to bring a smile to a group of folks in a local retirement home?

Come with us on Friday's around 4 or 5 PM for a visit at the Lynwood Village Retirement Lodge.

If you have kids and they want to come along, bring them! They just love to see them running around. The kids laughter will bring back some of their most precious memories.

Come and chat with the nice people sitting by the lobby. Some of them have either no family and get no visitors, others have family far away, others have family near bye but with not much time for visits.

Giving a few minutes of your time to them will make their day.

Read about someone who decided to join us during these visits and how they are enjoying them.

To read more about when we started these visits, read May's story.

Contact Miriam Mas for more information.
