2025 Cuddle Quilt Day
2025-03-15 10:00 - 16:00 | Trinity United Church, 101 Edgewater Street, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, B0J 2E0, Canada
National Quilting Day this year will be celebrated on Saturday, March 15. For over 20 years, our guild has been making and donating quilts to those in need. So, again this year, we will hold our annual Cuddle Quilt Day on Saturday, March 15, at the Church hall from 10am – 4pm. Quilt tops will be completed there as well as sandwiching and quilting of donated quilt tops. All quilt sizes are in demand, as well as wheelchair quilts and walker pocket quilts.

A big thank you again to Faye Brown for her donation of beautiful fabrics last year, some of which we used for 3 yard quilts, and the bolts of fabric which we can use for backing on Cuddle Quilt Day.

Rita Solkin has generously volunteered to be our 2025 Cuddle Quilt Day Coordinator, so further information will be forthcoming from her. Thank you all for a very successful 2024 year with 65 quilts donated.
