Once Upon a June Afternoon

So a few short summer weeks ago, it was June!! Incredible how the summer seems to fly by, isn’t it? Let’s take a moment and reminisce about our June meeting, shall we?

The original deadline for the MQG Michael Miller fabric challenge was in June, so we had decided to set our June Challenge to complete the Petals and Pinwheels projects. And our members did not disappoint! Have a look at these beauties!

Our next meeting will be Sunday August 24, 2:00pm at Periwinkle Quilting on Broadway. Come in the back door and join us in the basement studio! New faces are always welcome!!

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!

Blue and Green:

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.
