Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Steering Committee of the “Quilts on the Grand 2024” quilt show held recently at the Fergus sportsplex, we would like to extend a huge thank-you to all who were involved in any way to make our show a success.
With support from a Township of Centre Wellington Community Impact Grant we were able to invite residents of various “assisted living” facilities in Fergus, Arthur and Guelph to come for a separate day to view the quilts with lots of space for their mobility devices to manoeuvre freely.
To our 1,000 visitors throughout the show, thank you for coming not only from Centre Wellington and the surrounding area but also to members of approximately 25 Quilt Guilds in Southern and Central Ontario who came to see our display of quilted treasures.
Thank you to the very accommodating and supportive staff at the sportsplex and our local businesses who allowed us to promote the show by placing flyers, bookmarks and/or quilt displays at their facilities.
The Grand Quilt Guild meets the second Wednesday of the month (except July and August) at 7:30pm at the Fergus Legion. We would love to have you join us.
Sue Harrop & Eileen Parkinson,
Co-chairs, Quilts on the Grand
