Original Bide A Wee Member

Marr Draper is the only surviving member

 of the original Bide A Wee Club. She is 100 years old!

We named our community organization 

BIDE A WEE QUILTS 

after this wonderful group of Hill Spring women! 

We presented Marr with a quilt to honour her and those others who went before us and embraced quilting as do we. Even though it’s changed a bit since way back then, quilting lives on as a beautiful and enduring art! 

3rd Annual Quilt Show:)

Our 3rd Annual Quilt Show was a resounding success!  We displayed 118 gorgeous quilts and had 140 attendees!  What a wonderful day! 

Sweet Baby sleeping under our quilt!

We were so excited to see this little guy on the news! He is in the neonatal unit at the Peter Lougheed, and there was an article about the expansion to the unit. A friend of ours spotted the quilt! How it warms our hearts to see the quilts we made on community quilt day being given to these precious little babies! 
Thanks again to everyone who came out and helped! 

Quilts for Preemies:)

What a fun project this was!  Tiny quilts for tiny babies! We delivered 20 this week for the Peter Lougheed neonatal unit in Calgary, and have 20 more to complete and donate at a later date! 

Thanks to all of you WONDERFUL ladies in our community who have come out to community sewing day to contribute to this great effort!

Connie delivered this Dignity Quilt to Lee Crest this past week.

Roxy gave us the suggestion!

Thank you to all who contributed! 

PREEMIE QUILTS!

Community Quilt Day today.  

These awesome ladies made 32 preemie quilts for babies in the neonatal unit! They're not bound yet and 7 more need to be quilted, but what a great day! 

Thanks, to everyone who shared their time and talents!
