Black Gold Quilt Patch Guild
The Black Gold Quilt Patch Guild was founded in Leduc, Alberta in 1995. We are a group of diverse people, sharing learning experiences of quilting, handed down from generation to generation, gathered to exchange ideas, and how-to’s and above all, becoming friends around a circle of joy and laughter, young and old.
We encourage quilting for the benefit of the community, making and distributing quilts where a need is found, through our Friendship Committee.
We meet the first Tuesday of each month from September to June, at 7pm at Telford House, 4907 46 St., Leduc, AB. Come and join us! All are welcome. Contact membership@bgqpg.com for more information.
Charities We Support
The Black Gold Quilt Patch Guild supports numerous charities and groups with their Friendship Quilts.
The Friendship Committee donates quilts on an ongoing basis to various charities, especially those that involve children. These include Ronald McDonald House, Zebra Child Protection Centre and Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Over the years we have donated many baby quilts for the preemies in intensive care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital We also donate to adult organizations such as Compassion House and Quilts of Valour. We also try to respond to needs in communities when disaster strikes, such as the fires in Fort McMurray and Lytton, B.C.
Please visit our charity partners to learn more about what they do!
