About Us

In the Autumn of 1993 about ten PPQG members formed a group and met at a quilt shop once a week to make quilts for charity. This group would later be known as Connecting Threads. This group made ten quilts, thirty-six inches square for the Labour rooms at the Regina General Hospital where they were hung on the walls in large plastic frames, and it was hoped they would bring comfort to the mothers to be. Another quilt was raffled to raise money to purchase the frames.

Connecting Threads took on the project of making quilts for preemie babies at the Regina General Hospital. The PPQG assumed financial responsibility for the group in 1999 and raised funds through bi-annual quilt raffles and corporate grants.

We are proud to announce that in 2024, we donated 757 quilts to the community. 200 quilts were donated to the NICU and 184 quilts to the Pediatric Inpatient and Outpatient Units at the Regina General Hospital and 91 quilts to the Wascana Rehab Centre for kids with life threatening illnesses and those in a traumatic situation, 55 to 4 Directions Community Health Centre, 92 to Allan Blair CancerClinic, 99 to KidsFirst, 11 to Caring Hearts Counselling INC., 25 to the Wellness Wheel Medical Clinic.

In February 2024 Connecting Threads incorporated and is now known as Connected Threads Network Inc. (CTNI)

Connected Threads Network Inc. ’s purpose is to promote health and the relief of poverty by creating and donating quilted and sewn items to adults, youth, children and families suffering from or otherwise affected by health matters (such as illness, mental illness, addiction, grief, stress) and poverty matters (such as, poverty, natural disasters and other similar hardships) in and around the City of Regina.

In order to reach the individuals described above, CTNI connects exclusively with charitable organizations that support those affected individuals and works directly with those organizations to make sure the quilted items are delivered to those individuals in need
