Quilters gift dignity quilt

The Betel Home Foundation recently posted a big thank you to the Riverside Quilters from the Gordon Howard Centre, who gifted them with a beautiful Dignity Quilt. A dignity quilt is used to honour residents as they take their final journey from the home. In a statement online, Betel Home Foundation said, “Special thanks to Donna Mostowy for her dedication to this project creating a beautiful and thoughtful design from fabric contributed by Cathy Sveinson. Donna believes that Cathy would have been very proud that her fabric was used for this special purpose. Our appreciation to Joann Makara for the wonderful quilting job. Thank you to Heather Dankochik and Karen Hygaard for all of their help in arranging this project.” If you are a quilter interested in learning more about opportunities to quilt in community, you can connect with the Gordon Howard Centre.
