OPEN HOUSE, etc.

Hi Everyone:

Another successful meeting on Tuesday.
We discussed our Open House on
October 5th and made final plans.
Hopefully we'll meet some new quilters
and see some old friends!!!

Barbara has just finished a show with
2 other artists and brought us a couple
of her smaller quilts to show us.

The first one is her thoughts on
Montreal in the summer!!







Next, in memory of Lac Megantic.
Very moving.








And last, well, of course, babies!!









Here's Allison with a sample of
Folded Japanese Patchwork.
The backing square is larger
than the front square, and is
folded over the sewn down.
Get it?  Well, a little confusing, but
beautiful!!!  Wasn't made by our
Guild though.  Too bad!









Anna has issued the Guild a challenge
to come up with a quilt based on triangles
by the end of the year!  Here she's showing
us an example of what can be done -
"Broken Dishes".



Rita - problem solving and
the next quilt being made for
a co-workers baby.  Once
again - LUCKY CO WORKERS!!








Mary's MYSTERY QUILT!!!
Yeah, only one year later!!
Hey, who am I to talk, some
people, who shall remain
nameless, NEVER finished!!
Congrats Mary!!!








Our donation to the
Quilts of Valour.
Beautiful!!  Pieced by
guild members, machine
quilted by Sandra and
bound my Mary.  Great
job everyone!!!  One
more to go .....



And a HUGE BRAVO!!! to Charlotte -
we are finally getting to see one of
her pieces.  Pretty fantastic!!  Now
to the machine quilting.  Also her
first attempt.  Brave soul!!!
Congratulations Charlotte.
Looking forward to the next
one.




That's all for now folks.
Remember everyone,
Saturday, October 5th
is our Open House at the
church in our regular room.
Please come and spend
some time with us.  If you're
no longer a member, we
would love to see you.

Sandra
