Lorna has put some of the blocks together from our hand sewn comfort squares.

I think there are some left if you would like to hand piece one for the quild. 

Lorna assures us that if is not too difficult.

Here is our next comfort block or it could be your own project.

It is all about learned colour placement in design.

Meeting Highlights for August 2013

We had a great turn out for our August meeting.

Reminder that Marg Faktor will be sharpening scissors again for the September meeting at a fee of $2 a pair so if you forgot yours at the August meeting you have another chance.  

The guild chose these three quilts to send to Lac Megantic for the relief effort after the terrible train disaster that happened this summer. I also added a quilt to donate to the cause.

We had a fantastic number of Promise Squares turned in for our latest comfort block.

Marg Faktor lead a class in the afternoon on how to make Woven Fabric Baskets. Here is the sample she made in class.

Here are Nadine's latest quilt for her Challenge.

Now onto August's Show and Tell!

Summer doesn't seem to slow us down when it come to quilting!

See you in September!
