How did June get here already?!

News flash! 3000+ quilt blocks donated!!!!
Thanks to all who donated orphan blocks for the quilts for survivors, an amazing accomplishment! These blocks will be sewn into quilts for survivors of residential schools.

Sixteen “smile” quilts were donated this month to a local shelter for the residents. Thanks to the ladies who donate their time to help make these quilts. We hope they bring a smile to the faces of the recipients. We donated quilts to Youville Centre for the girls who will be graduating from the program this June.
