A few members of the Westmount guild joined us for a demo by Margaret Roberts on piecing Gentle Curves, a class offered at Quilte Classique. Stephanie joined her to assist her. It was quite interesting. Margaret gave us advice on the choice of fabrics, and many tips regarding the cutting and the placement of the fabrics to create some movement on the quilt. She also talked about the occasional necessity to use an accent fabric and the importance of labeling and attaching your piles of fabric. Stephanie had prepared kits for sale for those who wanted to sew this project.
RETREAT
We talked about our next retreat at the Ermitage Ste-Croix in September. Details to be confirmed.
NEXT MEETING
Maryl will do a demo on spiral binding. With this technique, you will be able to achieve a wonderful, colourful binding.
FABRIC WANTED!!!
Diane needs more of the fabric shown. Anyone in possession of such fabric, please contact her.
Take care and keep quilting!

Greetings from the Caribbean!
Sounds like a great meeting - sorry to have missed it. I have a small hand project with me - I'll see how far I get before arriving back in Mtl. on Feb.3.
Sorry, Diane- I don't have any of your fabric!
