Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild

The Saskatoon MQG met on October 23rd for a sew day. This was hosted at Home Inn & Suites. Thank you so much to Sherry for leading the meeting as the rest of the Executive disappeared throughout the week. We so wanted to be there but work and health prevented it. She was a super star as she managed to come up with a new education topic, register 4 new members, took photos, and handled the hotel. We are so fortunate to have her as part of our guild! These quilts make me feel like Fall is here, and they add to the excitement of Halloween.

Next meeting is November 27th at Queen’s Retreat and Renewal Centre at 601 Taylor Street W., Conference Room A in the basement. There will be a trunk show that is free to attend for members. Remember there is still time to sign up for Cheryl Arkison’s workshops on November 26th and 27th. Email bev.murray.drew@gmail.com for the form. There should be a few spots still available for non-members.

The next meeting is October 23rd.

We have an exciting October meeting planned, which 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 via the email sent to members and let us know if you are able to bring an iron, ironing board, or cutting mat to share.
