The Halton Quilters' Guild is a non-profit organization, offering a variety of monthly programs, lectures with guest speakers, and quilting workshops for persons interested in quilting. Well stocked lending library for members. All levels welcome, although no formal lessons are offered. Some quilts are donated to charitable organizations such as Meals on Wheels and the Halton Womens Shelter, or are raffled off by other organizations for fundraising.
We are a small group of quilters and fibre artists who love fabric, colour, threads, beads and embellishments of all sorts.
The group embraces the creativity of its members and includes all sorts of fibre arts – fabric painting, dyeing, thread painting, fabric collage – while keeping the traditional aspects of quilting alive. Each of us brings different ideas, and that makes for an interesting and exciting group.
Spun and Danielle Wilson are are next-door neighbours! Spun has a delicious selection of natural fiber yarns in intoxicating colours. As well as yarns, Danielle carries books, tools and wool roving. She also offers crochet, knitting and spinning classes for every age and skill level.
It is inspiring to visit Spun, and we have lots of ways you can use her yarns in your sewing projects! ...we're thinking couching, bobbin work, roving with embroidery and thread landscapes, loop-de-doodle fringes and more! Look for joint classes with Spun Fibre Arts soon!
