After a little bit of confusion, we held our September meeting on September 29th. Our biggest apologies to anyone who showed up on September 22nd. We have made sure that a meeting mix-up can’t happen again. To be sure of dates you can always click the meetings tab above to be taken to a list of our upcoming (and past) meetings.

In anticipation of the upcoming Saskatoon Quilters’ Guild show on October 24th and 25th we asked Brenda to lead us in a tutorial about quilt hanging. She did a great job showing us how to attach a sleeve to our quilts. The information was useful for those entering quilts in the show, but also for those who would just like to hang something on their own wall. Thanks for the great info Brenda!

We also discussed our upcoming year-end Sewcial (details to come), joining the Official Modern Quilt Guild in January 2014 and changes and improvements to our website.

After all the business was out of the way it was time to share the results of our ‘Inspired by…’ challenge. We had a few people with unfinished projects who didn’t want them photographed, but Carly came with a fully completed quilt. She said something about geeky things I didn’t understand (Star Trek anyone?), but her quilt was beautiful and creative as always:

Regular show and tell was a hit as usual:

We always love to see new faces so if you are considering coming to a meeting we encourage you to do so! And thanks to all of our existing members who always inspire us with their skill and creativity.

Carly here, posting the recap late as usual (just kidding, it’s Jaclyn – later than Carly was!)

We had a great meeting on August 25th. I feel like fall is in the air and people are getting back to sewing! It was great seeing some new faces and some people who were away all summer. We are so excited for all the fun things we have planned for the fall.

I gave a little tutorial on colour theory. Check out the resources page we recently added to the top for some of the links I mentioned. Feel free to send us an email if you think of things we should add.

After that we did a little show and tell. As always, it’s great to see what all of our talented members are creating. Here is a sample of what we saw. Check out our Flickr page for the full show. I apologize, these iPhone photos do not do this beautiful work justice, next meeting I will remember my camera!
