The Harbourside Quilters started 10 years ago at Harbourside Village and has made quilts for various projects including the Free the Bears fund and a women’s refuge.

‘It’s a joint effort and we use scraps from a quilt shop I used to own as well as other materials that group members bring in,’ she said.
