UFO  Challenge

My how time flies, two years has passed since we had our last UFO Challenge. So, it is time to host another. We are sure you have many UFO’s hidden away in your sewing rooms. We know you have ‘em! - so now is the time to get motivated to pick one or more to work on.

Visit the UFO Challenge 2021 page for more details.

Youth Bags 

In this time of yet another “stay at home” directive I thought about the toques for the Youth Bags. For members who are not aware of the bags, every second year the Guild puts together a cotton bag containing items for disadvantaged youth in our community.

Our next delivery will be December 2021.

Visit the Youth Bag page for more details.

January Program - 

Susan Madu- 

Susan is a chartered accountant by day and a passionate creator and quilter by night. Her husband can attest to the fact that she is never without a sketchbook or some project in her hands. Susan’s quilting has evolved from making quilts from commercial patterns to designing her own patterns under the "Modern Blended Quilts" banner. A central theme of her patterns is blending together elements of traditional and modern quilting.

To attend the next general meeting you will need to download Zoom on your personal computer or laptop.  You can also use a tablet or phone by downloading the Zoom app.  You don't need to sign up for an account you just need to have the application on your device.  LOOK FOR YOUR INVITE TO THE MEETING IN YOUR EMAIL FROM THE GUILD ADDRESS.

Round Robin

All 16 photos are now posted for your viewing.  The participators are now busy working on the projects readying them for passing along to the next person in their group. It will be great to see all the creativity at the end. Photos of the starting project pieces can be found on the Round Robin page.
