October 9, 2019 Meeting

10/9/2019

This morning’s meeting was well attended with 95 present, including several new members. Sharon Fisher, a fabulous quilter from Mount Forest, Ontario was our guest presenter.
The first quilt that she personally finished in the 80’s was a log cabin quilt and was hand-stitched.
Sharon has become a fantastic quilter with decorative stitching on many of her quilts. Her interests and talents have led her to specialize in wool appliqué and embellishments. Much of her work is inspired by designers such as Sue Spargo and Wendy Williams. Sharon’s work combines her love of colour and texture with traditional blocks embellished with wool and various types of yarns and threads.  
Enjoy viewing some of her work below. ​Sharon is pictured with the first quilt given to her  by her grandmother on her sixteenth birthday.

Our meeting ended with one of our favourite activities, Show and Share. Below you can see samples of many our guild members' creations, all beautifully done:

I am from the Orillia Quilters’s Guild and have been reading about your meetings and it sounds like you have a very active group. I am interested in contacting Sharon Fisher. I saw that she was a speaker at your quilt and wonder if you could give me contact information. I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you.
Marilyn.

Hi Marilyn,
I was just browsing through our site and came across your question. Did someone get back to you yet re: Sharon Fisher's info? If not, I’ll get it for you and get back to you
