Hansen and Heritage Quilters’ Guild president Jean Clair have both taken part in community quilt projects with the Limestone Guild (of Kingston) in the past. The women congregate in Hansen’s large sewing room, where they cut and iron the pieces of material before assembling them on a design wall made of quilt batting and laying out the pattern of the quilt. The ladies craft quilts of all different sizes for a wide variety of functions, from those which will be used by babies to quilts intended for snuggling on the couch watching TV. Over the years, Clair has sewed many different quilts for charity, including two sensory quilts for disabled children.
