Giving Back

Our community is like our family here in the Haliburton Highlands! The guild does what it can to help give back and take care of our family!

Quilt guild gives a Gift from the Heart.
Judy Cole and Shirlee Weeks of the Haliburton Highlands Quilt Guild recently donated $519.00 to SIRCH Community Services' Gifts from the Heart Campaign. The guild raised the money by auctioning off more than 30 donated items at their Christmas luncheon. The focus of this year's campaign was to provide food to residents in need, and offer training and supports so people can gain self-confidence, employment skills and parenting capacity.

Lap Quilt Initiative

Our guild donates lap quilts to the Community Care Access Centre monthly for seniors, wheelchair users, people requiring hospital care and others in need. Our lap quilt initiative has created and donated hundreds of these beautiful quilts, bringing joy to every person lucky enough to have received one!

These are just a few of the quilts that have been donated

Canada's Big Quilt Bee

Our guild made 14 full quilts and 51 extra blocks for the Canadian Quilter's Association. The event was called Canada's Big Quilt Bee; the goal was to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday by donating 1000 quilts to the Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada.
Pictured here are some of our dedicated members who helped make the beautiful donation quilts.
