How to Make a Quilt Sleeve:

A Quilt Sleeve made to the specifications provided n the document below will ensure that your quilt will meet the hanging requirements of most quilt shows. The extra ‘tuck’ ensures the quilt hangs smoothly from the rods used in the display equipment.

====================================

Guild members have always been generous in turning their talents to charitable causes. Contributions of Cuddle Quilts, Preemie Quilts, Bravery Bead bags and for the IWK Pillow Project are welcome.

Cuddle Quilt Guidelines:

Donations of Cuddle Quilts are welcome throughout the year. However, each spring, the Guild hosts Cuddle Quilt Day to bring together Guild members and the community to prepare quilts for donation. We’ll release the next Cuddle Quilt Day soon – it usually happens in March! Click here for more information on Cuddle Quilt Day and to get some ideas for charity quilts.

Pillowcase Project – Instructions:

There is an ongoing call for pillowcases for patients at the IWK. These are the same instructions for the pillowcases the Guild Sews annually for a different charity as well. Here are the Guidelines.

Bravery Bead bags – Instructions:

Patients at the IWK Children’s Hospital receive beads representing treatments and milestones throughout their illness – you can learn more about the program here. Over 200 bags have been donated by N.S. quilters to date. The pattern is easy to follow and arrangements will be made to gather new donations in the coming months.
