Knitters and Quilters

People meet on Wednesdays at 9:30 to 12 noon to create knitted, crocheted, or quilt projects for the community.

But you don't need to be a knitter or quilter to join. 

This group of "Knitters and Quilters" has been meeting for over 35 years.

Projects:

  • Prayer Shawls for people recovering from illness or grief.
  • Afghans for palliative care patients.
  • Hats for babies at the hospital.
  • Teddy Bears for the hospital.
  • Baby quilts.
  • Poppy Project

If you are interested in finding out more information or joining us, send us an email to Barb Dunsmore.

 

Poppy Project

The POPPY PROJECT began in 2021 to mark the centenary of the poppy as a symbol of peace and remembrance.  Over 6,000 knitted or crocheted poppies were installed flowing from the church bell tower and throughout the church property. 

Start your own community Poppy Project or contribute to next year's installation by using the PATTERNS HERE. 

Watch the video released by the Parish Choir of "In Flanders Fields" by Canadian composer Christine Donkin.
