Members of the Sunshine Club Quilters are delivering a little bit of cheer to Meals on Wheels clients this Christmas season. The 20 or so members of the club work throughout the year creating colourful holiday-themed placemats
for clients to have with their meal boxes at Christmas. Last week the quilters donated 90 placemats to Dora Farrell, past-president of Meals on Wheels in Port Alberni. “Our clients really appreciate receiving these placemats with their meals,” Farrell said. The volunteer service provides meals to seniors, people who have been discharged from the hospital or those who because of a
disability are unable to cook for themselves. On occasion they have assisted families in crisis on a short-term basis. Meals on Wheels delivers around 1,000 meals per month in Port Alberni, five days a week, 52 weeks a year. This is the fourth year that the quilters have made placemats for Meals on Wheels, says Shirley Bone, who has participated in the quilting drive for all four
years. “It’s fun,” she says. The placemat project is just one of several Bone works on throughout the year, she says. She belongs to four quilting groups between Port Alberni’s Rainforest Quilters and a quilting guild in Parksville. “It’s a good way to use up our scraps (material),” said Barb Smith, a spokesperson for the Sunshine Club Quilters.
