September 2016 Meeting Highlights

We had a busy guild day this month and were able to bind 3 quilts and piece two tops during the day. We had our Friendship Star draw and the guild won so we have a fun quilt to put together next month.   

The binding is now on our first Hunters Star quilt that will be raffled at the Creighton Craft sale on Saturday, Nov 5.  

We also completed our four Quilts of Valour and they will be sent to the Manitoba coordinator to be distributed to wounded Canadian soldiers.

Our Yellow Brick Road quilt was quilted by Marg F and the binding stitched on by Lorna H.  This quilt will be going to the new Family Room at McIsaac School.

Our Ice Cream Cone quilt was quilted by Sandra D and will make a great comfort quilt for a little one.

Our Bow Tie quilt was quilted by Sandra S and will be donated to the CWL for their fall Bazaar in thank you for lending their cup and saucers to our quilt show.
