Quilt Art
The Cut Loose ladies hold more than just a sewing bee. Once a month, these 15 women from all walks of life grab their sewing machines and head to one of their member's homes to work on what is called a Community Quilt.

The members buy material to make a Community Quilt to go to a person or family in need. Whether used in a raffle to raise funds for a cancer patient, or given as a necessary household article for a victim of fire, these quilts are always "...something you can cuddle up to," as Pam Sjoden so eloquently put it.

They try to make at least one a year. With a total house fire in the community in December and another in April, it's hard to keep up.

This year, the women will also be trying their hands at a Friendship Quilt. Twenty women across Canada will be making twenty squares each - all with a "Autumn" theme.

They will then send one of their twenty squares to each of the other 19 women, with the 20th square being combined for a new Community Quilt.
