October Meeting Update



Hey y'all - it's time again for the monthly meeting! Since we didn't get to it last month (we were gabbing too much - it was great fun!) I'll be leading the label design workshop at this month's meeting. No special tools are required and I will have samples of both labels and Spoonflower fabrics for you to look at. If we get the time I will also show you how to create business cards using the same method.

As always please bring along your completed projects and/or problems to share with the group. We are also running short on new workshop and tutorial ideas for meetings. We've already slotted an extended sharing/gifting time into the November meeting for the secret santa/mystery gift exchange and won't be having a meeting in December, but we need something good for January and into next year. Let's hear your ideas!

MQG Survey:
Just a reminder to fill out the MQG survey for this year! Please fill it out if you get the chance - if more than five members of the guild fill out the survey the anonymous results are sent back to me. The answers you give directly benefit the guild and help me out a lot! You can find the survey here!

Sale at the workroom:

Also, this month's meeting falls right in the middle of the last week of the 5-year anniversary sale at the workroom! I have also been informed that Karyn has just received a shipment of the new Bloomsbury Gardens collection from Liberty - definitely can't wait to get a good look at that fabric!

February Meeting 2016: Part Two

Image
Ok, February Meeting Part II. Because 60 pictures seemed like a lot for one post! Our member Elisa, who is originally from Brazil, was celebrating the fact that she had been in Canada for one whole year. And what better way than with this boldly patriotic block!  Elisa also made this lovely nature themed small quilt. She has it all pinned together and ready for quilting. She's made some really nice fabric choices here, allowing it to be abstract while still clearly referencing the natural world. Really lovely work.  Karen brought in this giNORmous quilt, the block for which were made in 2011 as part of a block of the Week club from the Sew Sisters shop. It is made with the Stonehenge fabric line from Northcott.  She had so much of the fabric that she even pieced the back. Very impressive.  Karen also did not mess around when it came to making quilts at the Quilts for Refugees sew down. She made, count them, ONE….  TWO...  THREE... ...

August end-of-Summer out-of-town Meeting

Image
The summer has been a bit slow, both on this blog (ahem, sorry about that) and at the guild in general. Many people had vacations, summer plans, prior commitments etc that kept them from our monthly meetings. So attendance was a little low. Which is neither here nor there, merely a fact as the short, precious summer rushes by us. But we wanted to wring one last little bit of sun-filled goodness out of the final weekend before school starts and a different kind of business and routine settles upon us. And so, we had our last meeting of the summer in a bit of a different location. One of our guild members invited us to visit her "up North", though really, it was just an hour outside of the city. Nature obliged us with a beautiful day of spectacular Summer weather. Hot and sunny and just about perfect.  We started with a little lunch. I meant to take pictures of all the lovely food that people brought, but was so excited to be eating that I forgot all about my camera and ...
