Canada&#8217;s quilt guilds are a great way to meet friends who share this passion. There is a HUGE celebration and charity quilting project currently underway with the <a href="http://www.canadianquilter.com/events/quilt-canada-2017-quilting-bee.php">Canadian Quilters Association/ACC with the BIG QUILT BEE </a>.  Quilters all over  Canada &#8211; and beyond &#8211; are currently busy making blocks, quilt tops and quilting (hopefully) 1000 quilts to donate to Ronald MacDonald Houses across Canada.</p>
<p>Discover Canada&#8217;s quilt organizations. You will find inspiring galleries, a variety of quilt resources and membership information on Associations websites.</p>
