September 27, 2023 Meeting

Today was our our Auction/Sale! Outreach had a small amount of fabric for sale separately. Volunteers helped sort out the massive amount of donations received onto a variety of tables. Other volunteers were auctioneers and did a wonderful job selling. All in all, the day was really fun! The first photo shows Yvonne Evans, our librarian in our library at the church.

In memory of Barbara Loomis.

This year stations have been set up in the gym with signs denoting each committee in order to help members see what is going on and to meet those in that area that are on the executive.

Outreach Program

Over the summer the Outreach Team put together 70 three-yard quilt kits for the Guild to work on. It was nice to see how many were picked up today. The vote from the floor carried charity recommendations put forward by the Outreach committee: YOU, ANOVA and Indwell. 129 placemats were donated today for the VON MEALS ON WELLS programs.

​Robin Bogaert presented a trunk show with her quilts sharing lots of great tips. She recommended her web sight “quiltingintheloft.com”, as well as another great website, “quiltsocial.com”.

​Our social on June 14th will include a silent auction of kits from Joy Love’s estate. The money from this will go to batting for Outreach. Both cash and cheques will be accepted. Don’t forget to bring a treat to share, your own plate and silverware
A paper piecing class by Gladys Bidner is being offered Wednesday, November 1st from 8:30 to 3:30 for $60.00.  Using this process avoids having to remove the paper after the sewing is completed because the product used melds into the fiber of the batting when it gets wet.

Outreach Program

We would like to give credit where it's due to those folks donating their time making quilts for the Outreach Program. If you'd like your name over a picture of the quilt to be donated, please send me a photograph with the name you prefer. (Linda McAffer: lindaewing@outreach.com)
Please pass the word to those uncomfortable with that process, to approach myself, Louise Coughlan or Mary Veenman at a meeting to photograph the quilt and be sure to provide your name.

Let's Quilt Day

​What a busy day! Lots of things going on.​ Sherry Milne did a great job demonstrating how to set up a design board from start to finish.
Sherry shared a good tip; use old rotary blades to cut the board. 
Because the glue dries fast, her recommendation was to paste sections at a time. Don't fold the batting over, cut off the edges. Cut a 2.5 " strip long enough to go all the way around the board. Fold the strip in half, and then both sides into the middle crease, zig zag stich to hold. Glue the strip flat on the edge all the way around and then run a bead on the fabric on each side a little at a time.

​It would be nice to give credit to the ladies that make quilts for the Outreach Program. If you've made something for Outreach and send a photo to me, I will be able to attach your name to it. If that doesn't work for you, please don't be shy to ask me to take the picture and make sure I have your name. My email is lindaewing@outlook.com
