Guild Outreach Programs
Learn to Quilt classes for the residents at Limberlost
The London MQG outreach program, shares our enthusiasm and knowledge of quilting with a group of ladies at the Limberlost Community Chaplaincy.
We meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 1-3pm at 1481 Limberlost Road, unit 137.
We have been very fortunate to have received generous donations of sewing machines, fabric and other supplies from our community allowing us to run a fun and educational program. This program has given the participants not only a chance to learn how to use a sewing machine, as some have never had the opportunity, but it also provides them with a much needed break from their difficult lives.
We have seen participants blossom and to feel good about their newly found skill. It is a joy to work with these ladies.
If you are interested in volunteering or hearing more about our outreach program email us.

Making quilts for The London Cross Cultural Learner Centre
How our Guild is helping:
Our Guild members are assembling and making finished quilts to be donated to The London Cross Cultural Learner Centre.
How Donated Quilts are Used:
Quilts are used as bed covers for the twin, double and queen beds in Joseph and Jeremiah Houses, which are temporary accommodations for Government Assisted Refugees. The quilts stay with the refugee families as they transition to permanent accommodations. usually within 6 - 8 weeks.
