Rotary Promise Quilt

A star is often a guide as we travel toward a journey, our journey to eliminate POLIO. The colours are those of Polio Plus!!	Symbols of our geography such as sailing, lighthouses, agriculture, star gazing and green for our land and blue for our sky and water

Quilter Anna Peters (Moncton) and good friend of Rotarian Pam Harrison, ADG. She is a retired school teacher and an active member of Victoria’s Quilters - they make 600 lap quilts per year for cancer patients. Currently the group meets twice a week, their long range plan is to raise enough money to purchase a ‘long arm quilter’.

PROMISE QUILT

Quilt blocks from District 7810 and Zone 24 - Once again we are asking districts for a 10 inch square quilt block to assemble another “Promise Quilt” to benefit Polio Plus in 2015. The 2014-2015 quilts will be auctioned off at the 2015 zone meeting.

The goal is to have a square from all districts in both zones 24 and 32. The squares can be appliquéd, embroidered, patched, or even drawn on with cloth markers. You may want a representation of your geographical area, a special project your district is known for, an example of one of the six areas of focus, or anything you like.

You will enjoy seeing what the talented Rotary quilters are able to do and you may even want to bid on the completed quilt. The winning bid will be a donation to the Polio Plus fund.
