January 2020 Meeting Recap

Hello Toronto Modern Quilters! Welcome new members!

Our January meeting was a lot of fun and a great success. 


The main event was our garage sale fundraiser. Thanks to all the wonderful donations and enthusiastic purchases, we raised $722.55 for the guild!Hurray! Leftover materials will be donated to the TDSB Artsjunktion where teachers can access arts and crafts materials for classroom use. 

Our new president welcomed the new year, and mentioned several exciting things coming up. 
  • Our 2020 UFO challenge! You can sign up online using this Google Form. Congrats to the prize winners from the 2020 challenge. 
  • Doors to the meeting room will now open at 3:00, and we will start with a fun "WIP and welcome". Meeting business will start at 3:30 as usual.
