30th Anniversary
Guild Challenge
 
The Port Perry Patchers are celebrating 30 years as a guild in October 2019. There have been many changes over the years, but a couple of activities have a history in our guild. They are charity and outreach quilts, and challenges. I hope you will participate in our 30th anniversary challenge.
