SPRING/SUMMER 2012 â€" March 1,2012 FALL 2012 - July 1, 2012 WP; ON THE COVER Quilting for a Cause WI Members and volunteers from the Goderich area and beyond have come together to support victims of this summer’s devastating tornado. Organized by the Dungannon WI (London Area), these ladies have devoted their time and talents to the Community Crisis Quilts Project and have warmed the hearts of many. Their goodwill has even brought them recognition on the CTV Southwestern Ontario News. Pictured (LP) is Katie Kuepfer, Arlene Riehl and Lydia Habegger from Lily Dempsey WI (Guelph Area).
