Back on the Road – Another Shop Hop

Late November might seem a strange choice for a road trip but with a busy fall, not to mention the Quilt Show, it just took this long for a couple of quilt shop hoppers to find the time to hit the road again in their quest to visit as many local quilt shops as possible. This time, the follow up…

November Meeting

November's meeting took me back to meetings in past years - the hustle bustle of 'normal' meeting activities like signing in, catching up and sharing a laugh with friends, dropping off fat quarters for the draw, signing up for the Sew and Share, checking out the latest books and magazines in the library and trying (unsuccessfully) to get a peek…

Photography 101 For Quilters

One of the most important non-sewing skills you can have as a quilter is to be able to photograph, edit and share photos of your work. You’ll want to do this to share your creations on social media or keep a visual record of your projects. You may also need to do it to enter quilt shows. (NB: Quilt shows…

And It’s Done!

The 2022 Mahone Bay Quilt Show and Sale is officially over - and what a show and sale it was! Despite the odds - after two plus years of Covid and an unwelcome visit from Fiona (who invited her anyway!) - the show was a resounding success. Quilts on display clearly showcased the many talents of our Guild members and…

Starting the year in vintage style

September's meeting was a taste of meetings past - lots of members (over 45 of us!), raffle tickets, the fat quarter draw (with Betty L. taking the prize), a brief business meeting and Sew and Share, and a sneak peek at this year's Challenge Quilts - all followed with a great program to introduce another year of quilting activity. Let's…

Hello September!

Hello to the last days of summer and to those crisp mornings and evenings that are getting us ready for Fall. For many, this is a favourite time of year. That is certainly true for me. After the long lazy days of late summer, September is a wake up call - back to school, back to regular routines, and back…

On The Road Again…

Summer days and road trips go hand in hand. For me, that means heading out on shop hops, near and far, especially after two summers of covid 'hibernation'. High gas prices make this a bit more of a challenge this year, but hard to resist the lure of a quilt shop visit. Am I right? Many of you have already…

Annual General Meeting June 2022

After our second year of pandemic restrictions, it was great to have our Annual General Meeting in person with over forty members present. As members entered, they ran the gauntlet of handing in current membership forms, paying their dues for next year, picking up postcards and posters to share the news of our upcoming quilt show and picking up their…
