April 2020 meting recap

April 2020 Meeting Recap Hello! Were you able to join us for our April virtual meeting? We had a great time, and maybe even learned a few things about modern quilting! Our guild remains active and our members seem to be keeping busy despite the difficult situation that we find ourselves in. Stay safe and stay well!

Announcements Bobbie has launching this year's President's Challenge! It will feature the characteristics of modern quilting, and a modern colour palette. Click here to get more information and sign up to participate!  The Maritime Modern Quilt Guild is doing a quilt drive for those affected by the tragic events in Nova Scotia, and our guild has stepped up to help provide some much needed comfort. If you are interested in contributing some blocks to this cause, email us for more information and to sign up to contribute. Do you have an area of expertise to share with the guild? Sign up to give a spotlight presentation at one of our upcoming meetings! Click here to sign up, or to suggest a topic you would like to see included.  Are you a social media pro? The guid exec would love your help to amp up our presence on social media by creating one or two posts per week (or more if you would like). Email us for more information, or to express your interest.

Mask-Making Resources Two of our guild members have created some fantastic tutorials to guide those who may be interested in making masks for family members or donation.  Julie's Mask Tutorial Steff's Mask Tutorial (beginner friendly!)

The MQG As members of the Toronto MQG, we are all also members of the MQG "Mothership"! You should definitely check out their member resources if you haven't already. Patterns, webinars, articles...so many exciting and informative resources to inspire you, challenge you, and keep you busy! To help you get started, the MQG have created a fantastic webinar tutorial to walk you through using the site and accessing the resources. What are you waiting for? Dive into MQG Resources!
