The Orchard Valley Quilters Guild meets every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to noon from September through May at the Okanagan Mission Hall (corner of Lakeshore and DeHart) in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Click here for map.
Our meetings provide members with friendship, support, inspiration and encouragement. We welcome quilters and fabric artists of all levels of expertise. Our members practice traditional, modern, hand, machine, and art quilting. Meetings are a great place to learn, socialize and exchange ideas.
Guests and new members are always welcome.
For our real life heroes:
Thanks to all the front line people fighting the Covid battle!
A special thanks to Teresa and all the staff at KGH !

OVQG Pop-up Donation Day - Wednesday, May 6
May 6: What a great success at our Donation Pop-up Day!
Our members braved cold and rain to deliver NICU Quilts. Barb Segal our donation chair received 115 quilts.
Quilts from The Pincushion Guild were received as well!
Members were able to replenish their stash safely at the various stations for batting, backing and 1/2 yard cuts.
Thanks to Jim and Linda at Linda’s Quilt Shoppe for her cooperation and the lending of her classroom space for this event. Our members were able to use the space to warm up and sew the labels.

A message from our President
Update on Caps
Message from our President
We now have enough caps for all the ICU nurses at the KGH, so we can stop “production”. If anyone still has any they are in the midst of making, they can still finish them and drop them off to Teresa or myself until yhe end of April.
I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous participation from the Peachland Guild and from Susan, a quilter in Naramata.
Please extend my thanks to everyone who participated and the sincere, heart felt thanks and appreciation from all the nurses.
Teresa will get some pictures for us to put on our website.
Kindest regards,
Sharon
