Hello Membership!

Please go to the executive page you will see there are a couple of positions that require your help! There is a whole executive of people to help you with the office you would like to volunteer for we work as a team, I am sure even past members that have been on the executive would give friendly advice. If you are able to fill any of these positions or thinking of it please email our president she would be glad to hear from you.

Many hands make lighter work as the saying goes but also if these positions are not filled that means that we are also losing out on these special programs due to no one to chair the office.

Thank you for considering! Your quilt guild.

We had great fun with our President starting the meeting with her journey of over 30 years of quilting starting with her first quilt.

on her way to a new world of quilting

Presidents first quilt

Start of a wonderful quilting journey

It is wonderful to hear how other quilters journey’s and how they started, what drew them into this craft Irena’s story was very entertaining, and started our evening with another quilters journey as our guest speaker Karen Kay Buckley

Hello Members,

Quilt show season is in full swing Oct listings are on the side. I will be going to the Erie Shores quilt show  in Leamington next weekend. There should be loads of inspiration at the shows to help you decide how you want to celebrate our 40th year!
