A week (and a bit) ago we had our May meeting and I’m just finally getting around to posting the photos.

We started with a little guild business, finalized numbers for the UK swap to come in the fall, talked about upcoming tutorial/focus ideas and we announced a really fun new challenge! See the newsletter (coming out this weekend or early next week) for full details.

After all the guild business, Bev gave us a great tutorial on slashing, and we got to admire all her wonderful projects. Here is one that we were all especially in awe of:

Afterwards we did a little show and tell:

And we finished off by sharing our charity blocks. Patti donated all this wonderful fabric and we are going to use it to make charity quilts (details to come in the newsletter). Just look at all the blocks we made (and a few are missing from people who couldn’t make the meeting):

Shout out to Julie who made more blocks than I can even count!

Thanks again for such a wonderful meeting. Can’t wait to see you all next month.

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:

We hope to see you at our next meeting on Wednesday May 8th. New faces are always welcome.
