Hi all ,

After 4 years here it is .

At Maryl's

It's a go! Our group quilt received its first stitches this afternoon by a few of our members. We do not see in this picture Sandra who had to wait for one of us to stop quilting to have room around the frame, Diane, and Maryl, of course, our host.

I left after tea but they were going to have another session of quilting.

It was great to see Betty again. Less great to quilt away from yourself when you have never done it before.

There are two more afternoons scheduled for quilting at Maryl's. Everybody welcome. Just drop in on Friday, March 5th or Wednesday, March 10th, after 1:30 p.m. please.

Thanks Maryl!

March 2nd meeting

For those who missed the meeting tonight, here is the show and tell we had:

First, Audrey's triangles:
























Then, two more beautiful baby quilts by Colleen:

























A disappearing nine-patch by Julia:


















A cheater quilt and a mini by Pam:

And, finally, an unfinished memory quilt by Diane:
























Don't forget, handquilters, that Wednesday is the day we start quilting our group quilt at Maryl's. See you there!

The Quilt of Belonging

is finally coming to Montreal!!! It will be at la Maison de la culture Fontenac, 2550 Ontario E. Map The address is a little misleading - the building is actually on Frontenac, just south of the metro station. In Google street view, standing at the corner of Ontario and Frontenac, looking towards the water - you can see the grey metro entrance on the left and the red brick Maison de la Culture on the right.

Dates: April 28 to June 5, 2010.

Times: Tues - Thurs: noon - 7pm
Fri and Sat: noon - 5pm
