2000

Members of our Guild visited the exhibition last year and were moved by the inspiring stories accompanying the quilts.  This year, we decided to become a part of this worthwhile endeavour by contributing a quilt.  We used an old, deceptively simple pattern, with an intriguing 3D effect.  While we all used the same green fabric, Guild members each contributed a wonderful array of shades of pink fabrics to create "Kaleidoscope Collaborations".

2001

This is our second year of being part of this great endeavor.  The participating members in this project were to make a block reflecting their love of Muskoka.  The border print set the theme and colours for the quilt.  Call of the loon, chirping of birds, the statley pines, and the graceful deer surround our homes here in Muskoka.  These reflections give us solace in times of sorrow and times to rejoice.  We dedicate this quilt to grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters, and friends we have lost to breast cancer.  Also we celebrate the survivors and the continual support and determination by all to beat this disease.

2002

This is our third year of being part of this worthwhile and rewarding project. We enjoyed working on our Muskoka themed quilt last year so we decided to repeat it.

Our hand appliqued blocks depict our native wild flowers, and surrounding birds and animals. The batik border reminds us of a forest floor of autumn leaves. Our hand quilting design is of leaves and ivies to compliment our outdoor wildlife scenes.  Again we dedicate this quilt to the "Celebration of Survivors" for breast cancer support.

2003

This is our fourth year to enter a quilt for The Quilt Project cause.  This is our third Muskoka theme quilt.  Especially this year, a winter theme is very appropriate!

Again, members designed their own applique block of a scene that is observed just outside their window or a fond memory.  Aptly, attic windows was just the right frame to show off these vistas.  The border fabric, a Debbie Mumm print, snowy trees, birds and rabbits in a dark starry night, put the finishing surround on this quilt.  The border material was donated by a senior member who is a breast cancer survivor.  Each block was quilted to enhance the applique and stars were appliqued in the large border.

2004

This is our fifth year contributing and our fourth quilt in the Muskoka series.  Muskoka excels in the fall.  The reds, oranges and yellows contrast the evergreens and granite rock.  The fifteen blocks are an expression and explosion of colour seen at this time of the year. 

Again we are proud to be part of this great project.  Our guild appreciates the opportunity to share our love of quilting to help others.

2007

A group of guild members had the privilege of assembling and quilting blocks donated to the Northcott "Quilt for a Cure" challenge.
