River Valley, NB is a new branch of Victoria’s Quilts Canada, established October 2023, which has approximately 50 active members. Victoria's Quilts mission is to provide handmade quilts to people living with cancer in Canada,and to bring physical comfort. The area that we deliver is Oromocto, down to Brown’s Flat/Gagetown, Maugerville to Jemseg, Cambridge – Narrows and surrounding areas, Wickham and Chipman, Belleisle, to Sussex area to Upham, Hampton, Quispamsis, and Rothesay. It is a large rural area so we have 13 ladies who deliver. Each one keeps 4 quilts at their home with the written material so the quilts can be delivered in a reasonable amount of time. We have 2 groups that meet regularly (one in the KV area & in Cambridge-Narrows). Guild members help out by making quilt tops (size 50 x 70), making blocks from kits prepared by VQ, quilting & binding, and making bags. Some kits are available at monthly meetings or can be picked up at the VQ location at 113 Hampton Road, Quispamsis. Many ladies organize the work done for this project – make tops, bags binding, & quilt on long arms. We deliver over 100 quilts per year.
To contact the group please call Lynn Armstrong 506-216-3300 or Kim Reese 506-650-6874.

Heart Pillows
Heart Pillows
For several years now guild members have cut 16 bolts of red fabric into rectangles (12 x 16) that we give to the volunteer group Telephone Pioneers to get screen printed, sewn, stuffed and sewn again into pillows that are used by cardiac patients after surgery at the Regional Hospital. Here's a photo of those who helped out in 2025.
