THE BATTLEFORDS — Battleford Quilters donated a queen-size quilt to the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital to be sold in the gala fundraiser next spring. This quilt was hand-sewn and quilted.
The partially finished quilt top was donated to the Battleford Quilters by Connie Hunter. She had worked on the quilt for six and half years while her husband was undergoing chemo treatments. She used the English paper piecing method which is labour intensive. She asked the quilters if they would finish the quilt and donate it to a charity. Quilters took on the project. We finished the piecing, provided the batting and the backing and the quitting and donated it to the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital.
