2007 AGM - Lots of desserts!

This is members only event. If you haven't got your ticket, they are still available until May 10th. Contact Gloria Meyer, President or Barbara Anyon, Treasurer, for tickets up to that time.





Don't forget to bring your own plate, cutlery and cup.








Also note: there will be a "yardage" sale of fabrics from a Past President who passed away this past winter. Funds from this sale will be used for our Community Outreach program. And don't forget to bring a bag for your purchases and of course, money.

Welcome to 2015

Wednesday Jan. 21st was our first meeting of 2015.

Susan Bowslaugh and Paula Perri spoke about what judges look for in a juried show - basically things that you may want to consider working on even if you don't enter a quilt in a juried show. 
Then they worked in small groups with samples of Paula's first quilts and Susan clarifying some of the categories that you would find in the CQA/ACC National Juried Show.




Many of local quilt shops were available for guild members to shop without having to venture out into the cold.









Lynne showed a few of the quilts that she has ready for the Community Outreach Programme (aka Quilts for Others). Some will go to people who have had a major fire in their homes.







Workshop for February will feature Roberta Masecar and her "Glitzy" pieces - some even becoming purses/bags!





A couple of reminders:
- M,N,O,P,Q, & R were responsible for the goodies for the social table for February
- in case of cancellation, members and visitors are to check the blog, the website. 
But Gloria suggested that good judgment on your personal safety is always a good idea.



 
Closing out the evening with Show & Tell, which included some of the finished QFO's.

 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
We are happy to announce that we were able to donate over 300 placemats to the Meals on Wheels in St. Catharines and Thorold and the Welland and Port Colborne clients just in time for their Christmas meals.
Also just before Christmas, many many boxes and bags of goodies (shampoos, toothbrushes, mittens, etc) were taken to RAFT (St. Catharines teen resource centre).

Great Job!
