Volunteer

Victoria’s Quilts Canada gives you the opportunity to make quilts in a group setting. Our small volunteer base of twelve in 1999 has blossomed to an army of over 1,500 people in more than 25 branches across Canada. We have amazing volunteers who enrich our organization with a multitude of talents – not all of them sewing-related. Groups usually meet once a month, or more frequently if the members wish to work on quilts in a friendly, social atmosphere. Each group works slightly differently as determined by the coordinator. In some groups, quilt tops are taken home to be machine or hand quilted and bound by one of the members. 

You don’t need to be an expert quilter to participate in our quilt-making groups.  We don’t teach quilting, but you will learn a great deal by working with other quilters. If you are an experienced quilter, you will learn new techniques and tricks. If you are a novice, you will learn the basics by participating and observing others.

You can join a branch that already exists throughout Canada, or you can consider creating a Friends Group in your community. You can also volunteer for a non-sewing position. Whatever your preference, please contact us by e-mail or phone (613) 843-9212 to learn more.
