Victorias Quilt's

In January I joined our local chapter of Victorias Quilts http://www.victoriasquiltscanada.com/ 

This is a little bit of info of how the group started originally in the US.

Who is Victoria?

Victoria Ann Morrison was a wife, mother, grandmother, and the best friend of Deborah Rogers, the founder of Victoria’s Quilts in the United States. She was also a cancer patient. One of the comments she made about her chemotherapy was that she got cold while she was laying in the treatment facility waiting for the day’s infusion to be over. After Victoria’s death, and while seeking comfort from the scriptures and prayer, Deborah was lead to Joshua 1:9 which states:

 

“Be strong and of good courage. 

Do not be afraid or dismayed,

for the Lord is with you,

wherever you go.”

Deborah remembered Victoria’s comment about being cold and wanted to do something. Since Victoria made so many quilts in her life time, Deb thought that this would be a good place to start. Victoria took the fear out of quilting. She said, “People aren’t perfect – why do quilts have to be?” Out of this grew Victoria’s Quilts.

The quilts are made all from donations of fabrics, cash etc, and time.  At the moment I am unable to join the  High River Group that meets evry second Wednesday due to work :o(  , so, I am doing my own thing at home.  So far I have made one quilt top which I am going to quilt myself and finish completely.  I am looking forward to making many more...
