This Christmas, members of the Bermuda Quilters' Guild put their crafting skills to good use by stitching up much-needed funds for local charities. Pictured here is Guild vice president Vonda Burgess presenting a cheque to Trevor Madeiros of the Bermuda Diabetes Association. A Christmas party raffle held earlier this month raised $2,000 for the Bermuda Diabetes Association.

Also pictured are Guild president Gloria Pearman giving quilted stockings to Ruth Skinner and Joy Fubler of The Lighthouse, a charity that cares for people affected by HIV/AIDS. The Guild presented 30 hand-made quilted stockings filled with goodies to the Lighthouse, and also put together a big bag full of new tee shirts and stuffed toys destined for children in Haiti.
