The Saskatoon MQG met at Home Inn & Suites on October 25, 2026. We enjoyed a fantastic Zoom presentation by Emile Trahan (@mili.tra) on improvisational curve piecing with scraps. As Emile reminded us, the only danger in trying it is that you might not like what you create. However, it’s only fabric and with practice, our skills continue to evolve. We highly recommend her presentation to any quilting group.

The latest charity quilt completed by members of our guild is shown below. It will be donated to the John Dolan School raffle.

We encourage anyone interested in serving on the executive to contact Laura. Elections will be held in November. Please don’t hesitate to attend the meeting. We already have members willing to fill the positions this year, but they would be happy to share the workload and welcome new volunteers. The remaining meeting dates for the 2026-2027 season are: November 22, December 13, January 24, February 28, March 13-14 (Guild Retreat), April 25 and May 23.

Below are some of the amazing pumpkin creations and other works of art created by our talented members. Happy Halloween! 🎃See you in November!

The next meeting is October 25.

We have a special October meeting planned with a guest presentation! The day includes both a Sew Day and Regular Meeting at Home Inn and Suites (253 Willis Crescent). Come and Go from 9 am to 5 pm with a Lunch Break at 12 pm and Meeting from 2 to 4 pm.

Our education is a 1-hour zoom meeting with Emily Trahan (https://www.emilietrahan.com/) from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.. If only attending the meeting, please arrive by 1:50 p.m. so we can be set up and ready to go! At the meeting afterwards, we will decide on if/how we will do a retreat for March 2027, and where we will do summer sew days. Please bring your pumpkin creations for show-and-tell if you took up the challenge.
