We had a very small group of members turn up for our full work day at the church.
I suspect a few of them were enjoying sunny weather somewhere else, and I know by the previous post there were a few at the quilt show in Arizona
Twenty three members and 1 guest turned out for the evening meeting.
A newsletter from
CQA was received with a challenge for new and renewing memberships. With each
membership you can enter your guild for a draw. Starting April 1st there is a Virtual
Marketplace on the CQA website with many deals for members and non-members.
Out comfort block for March and April is turning out very nicely. The exploding pineapple block.
The March retreat
had 9 members enjoy the pot luck supper and 17 participants during the 2 days
of the retreat.
The entry for the
Northern Juried Art Show on May 16th to the 18th in
Churchill MB is almost ready for submission. Thank you to Kathy S for
the great quilting job.
Sandra D made a motion to offer the guild project for sale at the Northern Juried Art Show.
New Business
The next UFO will
be on April 6th from 9 to 4.
The cost is $10 per person.
There will be some Stack and Whack projects going on if anyone wants to
learn the technique. Bright fabrics with well defined values and pattern
repeats of about 12 inches with 8 repeats work best.
Some upcoming
quilt shows are in Lethbridge AB on June 14th and 15th.
Also in Winnipeg MB on May 24th to the 26th.
The guild is
gathering a collection of metallic fat quarters and Moda Marbles or Moda Mates
yardage if anyone has some to donate for future projects.
Program
A Cutting Corners
ruler demonstration was done by Evelyn B and Audrey N using the
Starlet and Hot Flashes patterns. Robin
M sewed two samples of the Hot Flashes pattern.
Kathy demonstrated
month three of the Double Trouble Mystery Quilt.
