List of future Workshops

UFO  Challenge

The UFOs are flying off the machines, so many have been completed.  There will be many names in the draw for that wonderful prize.  One member has completed so many UFOs she has her own dedicated page.  See the link from the main UFO page.

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.

May Program - 

Susan Madu - Polished Finishing of Quilts

When I teach I share tips and tricks that I have found in the process of my work.  Often a tip will be the result of a 'happy accident' or 'what not to do'.  The words, 'ask me how I know' are the admission of a less than desirable outcome in my studio.  I have an insatiable desire to learn new techniques that will improve the quality of my work and I will be sharing them with you.

We Care - 

Visit the We Care page to see the deliveries of your generous quilt making.

ZOOM Meetings - 

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.
