Laurene Doble of Mississauga visited with his sister Florence Ashton last Wednesday. Back in the fall of 1989, a small group of enthusiastic women got together to form a group dedicated to their common in- terest - quilting. The 'Port Perry Patchers" were born that after- noon in the basement workshop area of Daisy's Fabrics, and are growing stronger with every meeting. The only requirement for being a member of Durham's newest quilter's guild is a love of quilts. Whether people create their own quilts, either by hand or machine, or simply admires the beauty of quilts lovingly created by others, Port Perry Patchers of- fer a chance to meet on a regular basis with others who share the same fascination with quilts. Quilting is, esentially, the sew- ing together of a variety of fabrics to form a completed pattern (piecing) and the combining of this pieced top with batting and a backing fabric through a series of small stitches - either by hand or machine - to form a dimensional finished work - the quilt. Quilts come in all sizes, from placemats to king-size bed cover- ings, and various degrees of dif- ficulty, from simple tying with heavy threads, to intricate pat- terns worked throughout the design in the tiniest of stitches. Quilting requires a good eye for colour combinations, the ability to stitch finely and accurately and, perhaps most important, patience and attention to detail. Quilts can be made of fabric scraps one has on hand, or in any of the wide range of fabrics available from sewing centres. The Port Perry Patchers meet on the third Monday evening of each month, at 8 p.m. at the Prince Albert Hall. Membership is $15.00 per year, and entitles members to discounts on guild- sponsored events, and discounts on quilting supplies from par- ticipating suppliers. Meetings are a time for members to get together and share projects and ideas, listen to presentations from guest speakers, participate in guild activities such as monthly quilt-block draws, and the creating of individual sampler quilts by each member, and generally share their common in- terest in quilts.

Beavers, Scouts, and Cubs to plant 5,000 frees The Beavers, Cubs & Scouts from Pine Ridge District will be planting 5,000 trees for Trees for Canada on May 5. Some groups will be planting in their respective community while others will be planting as a group in Nestleton. Over 600,000 trees are planted annually in Ontario by more than 30,000 youth. Over 10 million trees have already been planted in On- tario since the program began, and over 20 million have been planted across Canada by well over half a million members. Conservation has been achiev- ed through Trees for Canada and the reclaiming of the thousands of acres of waste land. There are two methods the communities can support Trees for Canada with the latter being the preferred. 1. Youths canvass the com- munity and ask people to pledge an amount per tree planted and then return after planting to collect. 2. Youth canvass the communi- ty and ask people to pledge a flat rate. Donations are collected at this time and there is no call back required. Pine Ridge District includes the communities of Port Perry. Can- nington, Seagrave, Goodwood, Scugog Island. Cartwright, Sunderland, Prince Albert. Man- chester and Uxbridge. Money collected helps support Scouting Nationally. Provincially and locally as well as help Scouting participate in self help projects in Third World Countries.
