Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild

The Saskatoon MQG met on April 23rd for a sew day at Home Inn & Suites in Stonebridge. Our education topic was quilt as you go. For anyone wanting more information on the many ways to do this, check out Monica and Alaura’s work at https://www.patternpoole.com/. Also, Teresa DownUnder just put out a YouTube video on “How to Quilt-As-You-Go” 9 different ways.

We are very much looking forward to Roxanne’s Kawandi workshop on June 4th at Home Inn & Suites. It will start at 9 a.m. If you haven’t signed up yet, be sure to reach out to Roxanne for the supplies list. We will do a combo sew day/Kawandi workshop. We have the room from 9 to 8 as per usual. The room wasn’t available in May on days that avoided the May 24 weekend.

I seem to be the only one that hadn’t heard of making projects with the fabric salvages. That was a nice thing to learn about on the weekend of Earth day. The Canadian quilt is the pattern Glorious and Free by Quilter on Fire. Shari went home with 2 less bags than she brought. We are lucky to see the newly sewn ones before anyone else! So nice to have Bev back. The traveling quilt blocks are looking so nice. Here are a few photos from the day.

As mentioned earlier in the post, on June 4th we are having a combo sew day/workshop at Home Inn & Suites. Happy sewing until then.

The next meeting is April 23.

Our April event includes both a Sew Day and Regular Meeting at Home Inn and Suites (253 Willis Crescent). Come and Go from 9 am to 8 pm (free for members) with a Lunch Break at 12 pm and Meeting from 2 to 4 pm.

Please RSVP for the sew day to Anne (see email). Members that are only able to attend the meeting should arrive by 2 p.m. Try to remember to bring your name tags! We encourage our members to wear their own stitched name tags. Also, we need a couple of people to bring irons and ironing boards, and cutting mats to share.

Meeting Agenda

Icebreaker
Education – Quilt as you Go
Show & Tell and Book, Blog, or Bolt – Show us what you’ve made and your works in progress. We all want to know what new and interesting things YOU know about. We can’t wait to see some of the traveling quilt blocks!
