One more chance to add a square to a Canada 150 quilt: no sewing experience needed!

Local quilters Mary Spring and Terri Howell are at it again. Thanks to a District of Muskoka Pay It Forward grant, the pair are hosting drop-in quilting sessions, this time with a twist. In the past, they hosted landscape quilting workshops for free to local students to share their love for the art. On March 28, they are inviting anyone with a love for Canada to drop in and make a square for a Canada 150 quilt. No sewing experience is required – they’ll help anyone learn how.

Several squares have already been made thanks to an earlier drop-in on March 28.

 

Once all of the squares are complete, they will be pieced together and quilted locally and then presented as a gift to the library.
