Comfort Quilts
Comfort Quilts has been a part of the Trent Valley Quilter’s Guild since its inception in 2003 by Marion Payette, Joy Forge and Marilyn Edmonds. They headed up the Comfort Quilts Committee for 16 years and still contribute to the group today.
Comfort Quilts have been and continue to be distributed to people in need,
whether its an Individual with a serious illness, displaced families who
have lost everything from a house fire, the Children’s Aid Society or those
immigrating from war torn countries. On average we give out 160 Comfort
Quilts every year. Brighton Rotary, Stirling Rotary and Kente Kiwanis are
faithful supporters of this worthwhile cause. The support we receive from
these groups helps us buy supplies to complete the quilts. If you know of
any service group that would like to donate to Comfort Quilts, please let us
know.
Please consider joining this fun group for a day of sewing, socializing, and
having lunch together. Coffee and tea are provided. It’s not only to make
quilts for others, its to make new friendships and share stories and ideas
be it quilting or otherwise.
