From Quilt Retreats, Fundraising Sales, Sew Days, Guild Gatherings and our BiAnnual Quilt Show, there is something for everyone!
Quilts on the Tay
Our 2023 quilt show was a great success. Held Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 8, 2023 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre we had more than 300 quilts on display, 17 vendors, a packed Member Boutique with items for a sale and a busy lunch room.
​
Thank you to everyone who attended, and all member who helped make the show what it was!

Planning begins shortly for our 2025 QOTT!
In Town Quilt Retreats
These popular 3-day, in town quilt retreats are now being offered twice a year - Fall and Spring. Held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Perth, they are a wonderful opportunity to stitch and sew uninterrupted by regular household and family demands.
It's also a great way to get to know your fellow guild members, and maybe learn a trick or two as well!
