Westshore Quilters aid flood victims

We recently featured a local quilter who had gathered a few friends to sew and send quilts to Alberta after the devastating floods in that province. Turns out, they are not alone. The Westshore Quilters Guild, which meets every fourth Thursday of the month at Church of the Advent in Colwood, have also sent 20 new quilts to help affected families in Calgary.

People who have quilting material they would like to donate, or want to pitch in to help, can contact Jan Gillis at 250-474-6020. The group’s next meeting is at 7 p.m., Aug. 22, at the church, 510 Mt. View Rd.
