Everyone loves a parade! In June 2023 the main street in Pitt Meadows was lined with moms and dads and kids - grandmas and grandpas, friends and pets! We even got 'Starry' eyed at the sight of a famous Hollywood director! A beautiful sunny day was enjoyed by all and shows how important community is.

    thank you for doing this. It really touched my heart at how these ladies are contributing their time, energy and money for the many deserving charities. I am also a quilter and my work is for charities. Nice to see what others are doing. I have donated to local food banks, Project Linus that focuses on traumatized children and also for group homes where homeless are allocated a room that is their home.

    Oh, WOW! I want to work with them! The Quilt Angels' quilts resonate with me. My mom died at home, and a beautiful shroud would've been comforting when my mom's body was taken from the house. 😢 I work with Project Linus, and we have a energetic group, too!

    • @MyTownInfo-eq7zg
      @MyTownInfo-eq7zg 14 дней назад

      So sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I agree, having a shroud like the ones the ladies make would be the best and most dignified way to honour a loved one. I too wish I had had one for both my mom and brother.

    I don’t know how this appeared on my feed but was immediately interested as I have been a sewer and quilter too. What also caught my interest was the location HHS and Fraser Valley. I grew up in Richmond but live in the states now for over 50 years. My family remained in BC however so I got to visit frequently. The quilts were lovely and also the stories behind them. Lifted my spirits and encouraged me to finish a quilt I started many years ago. Thank you ladies!

    That Singer sewing machine was stolen from my mum in 1950"s and found in the veld in or near Jo'burg and she was still sewing on it and made clothes for herself and me etc in 1973 when she traded it in for a Bernina and been with that brand even since mum passed in 2016 at 90 odd years old. ❤ From South Africa on 11.11.2024

    Not sure why this popped up on my RUclips screen but so happy it did! What a lovely piece on people who find community in quilting. It's a particularly nice presentation because it's new to you so you ask great questions. Not many outside quilting know about the charitable work. For non-quilters I recommend you search for quilt shows in your area and where you can see their work and often buy finished items. And donate cotton fabric if you stopped sewing or know someone who stopped, for the charity quilts.

    Although I don’t donate through a specific organization, I do donate to our local NICU where our daughter is a nurse! I donate quilts and afghans! I create because I need to! Creating quilts and afghans definitely helps my mental health! I have a very complicated medical history and creating helps distract me from everything that is going on! I love being able to create something that will bring joy to others especially those going through a difficult time in their lives!😊

And thanks for sharing such an uplifting video (I live south of the border amid the chaos) something we can use more of: learning about dynamite people who care and share. Cheers from Minnesota.
