The 'Gateway to Adventure' Challenge is ON! We will be doing it online.
Make a small quilt (perimeter less than 72 inches) with the theme 'Gateway to Adventure', using Kona Jungle fabric and three other fabrics. Take a photo and submit the photo to enter your quilt in the challenge before June 30. We will post the photos on our website and Facebook page and we will vote on the winner in the first week of July. Our winning entry will be submitted to the CQA Member Guild Challenge.
There are fat quarters of Kona Jungle arriving next week for us to use. Put your thinking caps on and come up with an idea!
If your entry is done, take a photo and submit it.

In response to the current physical distancing requirements from Health Canada due to COVID-19, and the requirements and recommendations from our local and provincial governments, the Prince Edward County Quilters’ Guild Executive and its Quilt Show Committee unanimously decided to reschedule our quilt show from July 2020 to July 10 - 11, 2021. The health and safety of our members, volunteers, vendors and members of the public are the most important aspect of this decision.
We have received approval from the County of Prince Edward to extend our Raffle Quilt draw to Sunday July 11, 2021. All tickets will be valid for the new draw date.
We hope all of you stay healthy during this unprecedented time of uncertainty.
We look forward to seeing you next year at our quilt show.
Thank you for your continued support.

My heart is so full!
I am a member of Prince Edward County quilt quild. I work as a Registered Nurse with Kingston General Hospital. I am Full time in the Belleville Dialysis clinic, where we have 90 patients that we treat 3 times per week for lifesaving dialysis. I also work occasionally in the Picton and Napanee clinics, and in the past Bancroft.
Just over a week ago, we were informed that the hospital is running low on Personal Protective equipment (PPE) My unit only have surgical masks. We were asked to use ONLY ONE mask per nurse per 12 shift. Our normal practice is to use a new mask for every procedure. I am estimating, I may use 40-50 masks per shift. We are in a crisis, this is unacceptable, leaving us feeling very under protected as we care for our very vulnerable group of patients.
I reached out to the leaders of our local quilt guilds asking for support as we face a shortage of protective equipment. Quilters by nature are kind and compassionate people, so I had hoped maybe some members would share their talents and help us out by making masks.
I am completely overwhelmed by the show of support!!
You all picked up the ball and ran with it. While I have been busy working at my job, a whole network of you banded together and made beautiful and functional masks! We have received over 300 so far!!
We are using the masks in addition to our surgical masks. I have also been able to give a few patients a masks of their own, which helps to conserve our supply further. They absolutely love their homemade masks. Another measure of comfort and protection for them. I am distributing masks throughout our dialysis units. Going forward, any surplus will be shared with our community as needed.
On behalf of my fellow healthcare providers and myself, I wish to thank each of you for the incredible show of support you have given us, in whatever manner you helped. It is so very appreciated.
Thank you for helping keep us safe, so we can continue to care for our community. Please STAY IN ( and keep crafting) and STAY WELL.
With sincere graditude,
Lee Ann Vandenberg
