Crayon Challenge

Back in February we announced a fun challenge to the guild. We threw some crayons in a toque (it’s the Canadian way) and instructed everyone to draw two. The rules were simple, make something, anything, using only the two colours you drew (adding neutrals if you thought it necessary). As with all of our challenges there were two months to complete it. Here is what our members came up with!

We love these challenges. They are always optional but they are a fun way to push yourself and try something you have never done before.

April 28 2013 Meeting

Yet another great meeting! It’s always so nice to see everyone and today we even welcomed two new faces!

We covered the usual business, we talked about To Boston With Love (hosted by the Vancouver MQG), a potential swap with another guild (stay tuned), the upcoming quilt show in Saskatoon (October) and we touched on planning a sew day as well.

Patti gave us a wonderful lesson on foundation paper piecing (she is the resident guild pro). It was really great to learn some tips and tricks. Even those who had some experience learned a few new things.

After that it was time for the real fun, showing off our projects! We started with the Crayon challenge introduced in February (post to come) and then we went into our regular show and tell. Here is some of what we got to admire today:
