We arrived with our masks on and signed in for our first indoor and in person meeting since March 2020.
The president welcomed us to the the Highland Golf and Country club. During the last two years members found ways to stay connected by outdoor gatherings organized by the Guild, small group gatherings, the Mystery Quilt through the “Stitcharie” store in Petrolia, Social Media, etc.

Sharon Agla - our guest speaker
Our presenter was Sharon Agla from Listowel who is a retired Family Studies Teacher. Sharon is a member of the Waterloo County Quilt Guild and the Elmira Needle Sisters Quilt Guild. In 2005, she came to quilting as a way of dealing with health issues. She uses a number of different techniques such as painting (uses Acrylic Paint with Fabric Medium), colouring on fabric with crayons, embroidery and more. Enjoy the photos
Sharon uses 3 squares made into triangles as an alternate method to hang quilts. Only 3 hand stitches required. Here is a link for doing it. See photo below.
