EDMONTON The group Central Sewing Volunteers has been around for more than two decades, and the pandemic hasn t stopped the ladies from helping out a charity close to their hearts. Colette Martin has been sewing for 50 years, she started quilting in 1975, and joined the group 11 years ago. I m good with my hands and I used to make my own clothes but I haven t done any clothing sewing in ages, it s more the crafting stuff and the quilting, said Martin. The sewers work together to make quilts, each woman working on a different part and then all the pieces are brought together to finish the blanket.
