Season's greetings from the Rivers Edge quilters.
Again this season we churned out many comfort quilts. They will go to the Empty Stocking Fund, Interval House and Mental Health Association.
We also have numerous afghans, slippers and mittens to accompany them. Some of the quilts were made from panels that were part of our "Louise Nykiforuk stash.鈥� They are beautifully made and very colourful.
We had a meeting a Dec. 4 and we reminisced about Louise, her sense of humour, how she loved the colour orange and the many skills she taught us. She was a much loved and appreciated founding member.
We had a potluck lunch and played strip poker. You have to come to see how we play it.
We meet Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
This past month we learned how to do a ladder stitch on bindings, do a "self-portrait" wall hanging and we had a workshop on making bags. These bags can be purses or mini suitcases that can hold your laptop, cellphone and other items and are very attractive.
Are there any members out there who would be interested in doing crafts with Mental Health Association members on a Tuesday night?
