 ​Mary Aldworth has invited those members who are interested to participate in fabric exchange to produce SUNSHINE and SHADOWS QUILTS.
Using the same concept as a cookie exchange to make work lighter, members interested in making their own Sunshine and Shadows Scrap Quilt will cut and then exchange pieces needed to produce nine patch squares.
Participants will bring cut and share with others in the group
1. Three, 3” squares in three different medium and/or dark colors
2. Three, 3” in different light colors
3. Two 3 ¾ “ squares (one in a light coloured fabric and one in a dark coloured fabric.)
After multiple swaps at our monthly meetings, participants can produce the squares needed to construct their own SUNSHINE and SHADOWS quilt.
Interested members were invited to sign up. Details will be emailed to them.
Members not interested in making their own quilts are invited to donated 3” squares if they wish

​Mary shared a tip suggesting we can use a larger embroidery hoop to keep the material in all 3 layers taut when quilting a larger quilt, moving it to another place as required.
 
Linda Cox shared a tip for sorting our stash by getting different coloured baskets from the dollar store.

Marlene Dunlap and Trish Gamble want to thank everyone that cut squares for Eye Spy outreach kits. Also, for taking some kits to sew at home. The day was very successful. A special thank you to Yvette Glenn for helping outreach prior to all our meetings. Yvette shops for batting and stores fabric and she is on the program committee to. Busy lady.
​Marlene Dunlap also announced that at the next meeting a basket will be out again for items going to My Sister's Place that supports women who are homeless.

A wish list of things they are accepting can be located at: https://cmhamiddlesex.ca/about-cmha/msp/

Fabrics were again offered for sale by outreach

At our “Let’s Quilt Day” on Nov. 23rd, we can extend the meeting, accommodating twenty sewing machines at $3.00 each for the rest of the day to 4:00 pm.

Chloe Truman has been hand quilting for 40 years using the English paper piecing technique from the 1800s. This amazing work is all hand done.
