Meetings | Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild

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!

As always, finishing up with a little inspiring show and tell!

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!!

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):
