Timberlane Quilters Guild
Richmond
Textile Arts Guild
Rock Creek
RUMPLESTILTSKEIN FIBRE ARTS GUILD
In 1981 a group of ladies interested in spinning, weaving, and felting got together to learn and enjoy working together. During the next year they worked out a constitution and became a non-profit society called the Rumpelstiltskin Wheel and Loom Guild, offering various workshops at the schools; also participating at the Rock Creek Fall Fair as an educational exhibit.
Over the next few years, 4 of the ladies moved away, and as the numbers of the original group dwindled the focus changed to quilting. In 2002 we officially changed our name to what it is today. We have held our meetings at various locations over the years, and are currently meeting at either the Rock Creek Medical Centre or the Kettle Wildlife Hall.
Our members are very willing to try new crafts and types of handwork as well as the quilting projects and group challenges that we participate in. We contribute to our community by donations of quilts to those who are dealing with serious illness, and those who have suffered losses through fire or flood. Parkview Manor has received placemats, slippers and Christmas stockings over the years and more recently, face masks. During covid the guild supplied hundreds of free masks for our local community, dispensed through the Riverside Centre.
We are currently partnered with the Mennonite Restoration Committee providing quilts to those in the broader community who are able to return to their homes after losses.
If you are interested in finding out more about us, please call Lynda Dennill 250-446-2431, Ann Neufeld 250-446-2514 or Judy Harpur 250-446-2406.
