November 24th 2013 Meeting

I can hardly remember November 24th! But thanks to a busy holiday season and a computer problem I wasn’t able to post this meeting recap until now. 

The November 24th meeting was our last meeting of 2013. The meeting was mostly focused on bylaws, we needed to have bylaws in place before joining the Modern Quilt Guild. I am pleased to say that the bylaws presented to the membership were voted in and we have officially joined the Modern Quilt Guild for 2014. Everyone who joins the Saskatoon MQG for 2014 will also be a member of the Modern Quilt Guild with full access to their resources. Sign up for our newsletter for more details, or e-mail us and we will get back to you with any information you require.

Back to the meeting recap…

After we went through all the bylaws Carly lead us through a wonderful discussion on texture. She made an AMAZING texture piece that we all drooled over (and tried to steal).

Then we looked at the challenge results – using an unexpected fabric – which tied perfectly into the texture discussion (of course!):

Thanks to everyone who made 2013 such a great year. We can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for the guild!
