In Feb 2023, Ann Perry reported that 60 “anti ouch pouches” were made and given to Lori Flood from the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation (through the Breast Health Program). These pouches, or comfort pillows, provided care for Breast Cancer patients following surgery.

2021-2023
This was a national initiative spearheaded by Vanessa Genier, who coodinated a nation-wide effort by volunteer quilters to gift quilts to Survivors of Residential Schools. The quilts are a symbol of support, respect, and love. Our local committee was comprised of: Libby Maskos, Jean Foglein, Betty Anne Waugh, Susan McEachern, and Ann Perry. They committed to a two year project, focused on supplying quilts to Survivors in the Maritimes. To support this effort the committee provided a block of the month, and periodic sew days (zoom and in-person). The goal was to gift 50 quilts over a two year period (2021-2023). Our guild members were very generous making quilts, long-arm quilting, making embroidery labels, and cards. Here's a link to the national Facebook page "Quilts for Survivors" . See links for more information and photos of some of the quilts that were made.
