Let’s pretend it’s May okay? Not buying it? Okay well how about the first week of June? I’d like to take you back to that time when Saskatoon was just exploding into summer…are you there? Good. Now let’s do our May meeting recap!

Edith and Dyanne did a wonderful joint presentation on borders and squaring . We learned many helpful tips including how to avoid cutting your foot, and how to use borders in a modern quilt. Here is Edith showing us how it’s done:

We also talked about…yeah I can’t remember anymore.

But we did see some beautiful quilts including the results of our WIP challenge (we saw a few more too but for some reason many of the photos did not turn out):

Next up June! Sorry to make you wait so long this time.

We haven’t finished the May meeting recap for the blog or the June Newsletter but we wanted to tell you about a special event coming up!

We will be having a summer sew-in on June 21st and 22nd at Periwinkle on Broadway.

This event will be members only and SPACE IS LIMITED so please send us an e-mail if you plan to attend.

This is the weekend of our regularly scheduled June meeting. We will be breaking from 2-4 to hold our meeting, so even if you’re not coming for the sewing be sure to come to the regular meeting.

Date: June 21st and 22nd 2014
Time: Around 9am until whenever we feel like stopping each day. It’s not a sleepover though (but wouldn’t that be fun?).
What: A fun time sewing with your SMQG friends. Bring whatever you want to work on, we have zero structure for this, just free time to sew and chat.

What to bring:
– Whatever you need to work on your project. There are 5 classroom machines you can use if you don’t feel like bringing your own (let us know), there are also cutting mats and pressing stations so no need to bring your own unless you are particular.

This event is free to attend; the SMQG will cover the cost of the room rental. This is just one way we want to say thank you to our members.

Food will not be provided. Bring a snack to share, meals can be arranged amongst the group. Feel free to bring whatever you want to eat, some of us may go out, some of us may order in, no set plans.

Any questions feel free to e-mail Jaclyn and Carly at SaskatoonMQG@gmail.com

Hope to see you there!
