Community Connections: Working Together for Good
Our thanks to the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre and Gibsons Building Supplies for facilitating the new display hardware in the SSAC gymnasium. This hardware will vastly improve our ability to hang and photograph our members’ creative works during our events. As well, the hardware will be available to other groups to display their materials at community events.
Several hardworking Guild volunteers, including very talented husbands with essential equipment and skills, worked quickly over the holidays to transport, prepare, and install the materials in a very efficient production line. A rewarding example of community building!
Now, that’s a lot of display space on all three walls!
Our first quilts to grace the walls are those created by community members who visited the Guild at Stitch & Bobbin during the 2025 Art Crawl. Visitors selected preferred fabrics, arranged them into a block on a mini-design board, and then Guild members zoom-stitched them into several quilts that the Comfort Society committee distributed in the community. Special thanks to member Karen Biddlecombe who compiled and finished all the quilts!
Gibsons Girl Guides: Never too young for quilting!
Also during the 2025 Art Crawl, the Guild was invited by the Gibsons Girl Guides Leader to engage with their troupe for an introduction to sewing, embroidery, and quilting tools. After creating a completed drawstring bag on a sewing machine, they went home with a challenge question, important safety lessons, and quilted sewing goodies from the Guild. Many thanks to several Guild members who volunteered their time to create projects and guide the Guides!
