October 23, 2019 Let's Quilt Day

10/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Let’s Quilt Day held October 23rd, was a fun interactive workshop led by our own Betty Huygen.  She did a demo of how to cut and assemble a “Quarter Stripes” set of blocks using 1 ¼ yards of a favorite striped fabric. 
​Meribeth Dunkerley set up tables with cutting stations so members could practice the folding and cutting technique thereby ensuring we actually learned how to do this!  The resulting cutting and assembly created squares that are very different from the original fabrics. So many varieties of stripes brought in by members, resulted in many outstanding looks!  No doubt finished table runners and table toppers are likely to be seen at upcoming Show and Share sessions. 
For more information on the technique, please go to  the Missouri Star Quilt company’s Youtube channel and search “Quarter Stripes Quilt”.

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:
