The Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters鈥� Guild is hosting a quilt show, 鈥楥elebrating Quilts鈥� in Cumberland May 18-19 at the Cumberland Cultural Centre.
Quilters from the area will be on hand to share the love of quilting, sewing and handiwork while admiring the display of quilts from local guild members.
There will also be a raffle with all proceeds going to Community Quilts to continue supporting others with the comfort of quilts. Visitors can also enjoy the tea room and a vendor area. It will be a wonderful weekend to see exquisite quilts made by local quilters.
The Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters鈥� Guild is an active quilting guild with 126 members from the Comox Valley. Members meet at the Cumberland Cultural Centre every Thursday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. sewing quilts and other projects while enjoying the company of fellow quilters. Being so fortunate to have the Cultural Centre every Thursday allows members the opportunity to learn from others, support each other and contribute to the community. The Quilt Guild supports the program Community Quilts.
Celebrating Quilts runs Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Admission to the event is $5.
The Cumberland Cultural Centre is located at 2674 Dunsmuir Ave., in Cumberland.
