CALGARY A crafty collective of southern Alberta quilters have succeeded in their mission to spread a blanket of love across the city s hospitalized patients. 250 quilts have been lovingly hand-made and delivered to the Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC) to be gifted to patients in need. Connie Barteaux, a member of the Wheatland Quilters Guild, was among the handful of quilters that made the Tuesday delivery, It s very exciting to be participating in something like this, to be able to donate and hopefully bring a warm hug to somebody, she said. Barteaux added that she hopes that those who receive these quilts get as much enjoyment out of them as she and her guild did in making them.
