Thanks to Diane, Maureen and Laura who did a ton of planning and preparation to make the new table topper a huge success. Thanks to all the sewing volunteers who made this project a success. It will be on display at our coming Quilt Show in October.
Have your finished project showcased here for all to see.
Anniversary Challenge
September Meeting
What a night of celebration, 20 years of friendship and quilting. We all enjoyed a delicious piece of cake and listened to the reminiscing of founding members Elizabeth G. and Maureen G. Each member received a swatch of our anniversary fabric. These swatches can be used in any project of your choice with the intention of using many of them in a display at our 2018 quilt show.
Project ideas:
- cut up or use the swatch whole
- paint, colour or dye the fabric
- add other fabrics to the project / any colour
- make it into a mug rug, bag, pouch, small quilt, table runner, etc.
These ladies attended the very first meeting and celebrated 20 years of membership in our guild.

_____________________________________________________________
Somewhere in your design you must include '20' (twenty) . . . whether it is numerial or letters, subtle or prominent, it is up to you!
Design size no bigger than an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper (standard paper size) . . . design can be digital, hand drawn/painted or a fabric block . . . ANYTHING GOES!
Submit your design idea no later than the April Meeting (can be emailed before the meeting or brought to the meeting).
A note about copyright . . . these must be original designs from your creative brains, we cannot print fabric using other people's art.
Bounce your ideas off other guild members . . . we have sooooo much talent in our guild.
Feel free to work alone or in a group to create a design together.
Remember it is meant to be FUN, so start with an idea and run with it. Maybe borrow a book from our library to give you some starting ideas.
Once the selection has been made in April, the design will be printed onto the fabric. Don't worry if your design is selected and it is not in digital form we will do all the preparation for fabric printing.
At a later date members will receive a piece to use in a quilt project.
