Quilts For Survivors

While not directly sponsored by the Waterloo County Quilters' Guild, Quilts for Survivors is a meaningful project that we wholeheartedly support. This initiative, started by Vanessa Genier in 2022, brings together volunteer quilters across Canada to create full-sized quilts for survivors of the Residential School System. These quilts are powerful symbols of love, respect, and support.

Our member, Deby W, is coordinating the collection of 2.5" binding strips needed for these quilts. If you'd like to contribute binding, please contact Deby directly. All other donations, including finished quilts or monetary contributions, should be sent directly to Quilts for Survivors.

For more information on how to donate or request a quilt for a survivor, please visit Quilts for Survivors. The organization has recently moved to a new studio located at 58 Legion Drive, South Porcupine, Ontario P0N 1H0. You can also reach them via email at admin@quiltsforsurvivors.ca
