PSQG

Pacific Spirit Quilters' Guild

The PSQG is a non-profit society whose purpose is:

  • to make quilts and related items that will be donated to other  organizations within the community that deal with the victims of accident or misfortune such as, but not limited to: Police Responder Programs, Victim Assistance Programs, local nursing  homes, hospitals, and other assistance programs. 

  • to provide and promote the education and enjoyment of quilting, not only to members, but  to the local public through shows, demonstrations, etc. 

We are based out of the Christine Sinclair Community Centre at 3713 Kensington Ave., Burnaby. 

We meet in-person, the second Thursday of every month at 7:00pm except in July and August. In December and June, we meet together at an alternate space. The January and February meetings are done on ZOOM. 

Our first meeting of the year is Thursday, September 14, 2023.

                              Everyone is invited to join us at a meeting.                                                           Your first meeting is free to attend.

 

Guild Activities

Annual activities in support of the organization's purpose & to provide a bit of fun along the way.
Comfort Quilts

We make quilts for Burnaby Family Life, Burnaby General Hospital, Burnaby Public Health, St Michael's Centre  Hospice, and Honour House.

Each year, two Saturdays are available for members to get together and make Comfort Quilts.

Due to the many beautiful donations we have received last year, Comfort Quilt kits are now available free to members.

Batting is provided to complete Comfort Quilts by PSQG.

Quilting can happen everywhere.

In the past, we have gone on a Shop Hop, to the offices of Burnaby Family Life and to the Delta Hospice Society to quilt.

This upcoming year, we plan to attend the Chilliwack Quilt Show as a group on October 14.
