QUILT GROUPS

  • Quilt groups consist of quilters who meet to work together, either in person or via Zoom.
  • There is no formal teaching component. Quilters learn from one another. 
  • Some meet to create charity quilts.
  • Some meet to work on individual projects in a group setting, either single day Sew Days or multi-day retreats.
  • Many are free while others have a small fee to cover venue costs.

For more information email the Workshops Coordinator. Use this address if you are mailing your payment.

Note: On this page , each meeting has a limited amount of space. If you can't see the entire description, click on the red Show details link to view the individual meeting page.

    Want some company while you're stitching in the ditch??

    Our In-Town Retreat is a great opportunity to get together and sew!  Bring an unfinished project that you're working on or start something new and share your ideas and inspiration with others! You can set up your sewing equipment, leave at the end of each day and return to finish your project the following day. It is a retreat but you get to sleep in your own bed at night.  Your projects will be safely undisturbed until you return the next day.


    19 Leeming Dr, Nepean, ON K2H 5P6

    Location has level entry, single storey, free parking, kitchen for use.  We will again be able to leave our tables set up for the weekend.

    Our irons, ironing boards, cutting mats, power cords & surge suppressors will be there.


    Bring your own meals.  The fridge and kettle will be available to use.  We will provide coffee, tea and snacks.

    Cost:  $45 for the weekend, or $15 for Saturday Only or Sunday Only


    Spaces: min 4 / max. 16
