Welcome Back!

Yes, just as kids and grand-kids head back to the classroom, we too head back to our regular monthly routines of Guild meetings, Slow Quilting, Sew Zoom and other quilting events. Though some of us keep busy sewing year round, no doubt there are some (like me) that see the advent of fall as a signal to head back to…

Are you Ready? Outdoor Quilt Day 2023

What a summer! From the dry days of April and May, to the pouring rain in June, the oppressive humidity of July and the torrential July downfall, this has certainly been one to remember.

The business meeting was brief, full of reminders for upcoming events like the weekend Yard…

April Meeting

April marked the return of evening meetings after four months of getting together in the afternoon. It was so nice to avoid those long dark drives during the winter months. But here we are with Spring and so it is so nice to keep travelling to the meeting in the light of day, though now in the early evening! And…

February Meeting

This fine weather, as cold as it has been of late, has at least ensured clear roads and a good turnout for our monthly Guild meetings. The February meeting was no different - over 40 members gathered to hear about the Guild's busy agenda, to feast their eyes on lots of Sew and Tell items, and to sit back and…

Happy New Year!

With no snow on the roads, there was a great turnout for the Guild's first meeting of 2023 this past Monday. There were almost 50 members in the Church Hall and we had such an interesting meeting.
