I have been asked how members may participate in Community Service Committee activities. Some members meet the second Tuesday of the month, 9:30-4:00 pm, at the Focus on Fibre Arts Association (FFAA) Studio (10554 – 110 street NW). We work on charity quilts using donated fabric, donated blocks and /or donated tops. There is always room for more to attend. Donations in the last couple of years have come from quilters downsizing or from quilter’s estates. Some members pick up fabric or quilts that need binding to work on at home. Some members do the quilting by long arm or domestic machine and some come and sew on EDQG labels and binding.
We have a budget that allows us to purchase some batting and sheets for printing labels. We do appreciate donations of leftover pieces of batting, fabric, orphan blocks, and sheets for printing labels. If you have a completed top that you know you will never finish, we will gladly accept it. Quilting supplies in the Committee’s stash may be used for any charity a member wishes.
If you have any questions and would like to participate in a big or small way, give me a call. Any help is appreciated.
It’s exciting! The Community Service Committee is going to have an extra sew day in the new FFAA Studio on Monday January 23, 2023
Address: #100, 10554-110 street NW.
9:30 am – 4:00 pm.
Drop by to deliver quilts, pick up fabric for charity quilts or drop off your BOM.
Our door is in the back off the alley and there is parking there as well as in front.
There is hourly parking across the street.
Some of the street parking is 1/2 hour so read signs carefully.
Please reply to Vicki at memberservices@design.edqg.ca to let her know you will be attending.
Peace,
