1-709-686-5883 Girl Guides of Canada are celebrating their centennial this year and Quilt Canada has kindly invited Girl Guides to put on a Special Exhibit of ‘100 years of Guiding’ in quilts. Girl Guides have been making quilt for years, and we would love to display them all, but many have been made as service projects and given away to those in need. Others have been made as gifts for retiring Guiders while others have been raffled off to raise funds for camps and activities. We have managed to borrow a number of quilts to exhibit, but we would also like to have a photo display. If you have a photo of quilt made by Girl Guides or photo of a quilt being presented or donated by Girl Guides, we would like to include this as well. If you have a photo that you would like to share with us, please include as much information about the photo as possible, eg name of photographer, date of photo and/or quilt, who made it and/or presented/donated it, as well as the history or story about the quilt (why was the quilt made?).
