Meeting every third Monday evening at the Emmanuel Pentecostal Church, the Guild is now flourishing with almost 50 members hailing from Port Perry, Uxbridge, Janetville, Sunderland, Blackstock and Oshawa. Sarah was the first president and has been a big influence on this group of talented women. There's a good cross-section in the guild. Some women have been quilting for many years while others have hardly ever sewn, yet they "all share the same interest of quilting, learning and helping each other" says Mrs. Carnegie. Greta Hambleton, a member from Sunderland, presented a challenge to the guild last fall. Each participating member was given two pieces of fabric and it was left up to them to Buy Sell Swap Rent Citizen want ads 36 Water St. Port Perry design and quilt a wall hanging using six other pieces of fabric of their colour and texture choice.
