Linda Hubbard will visit our guild and offer a Miniature workshop on Saturday 26 April. Linda is an inspiring teacher and this will be a great learning experience. She will cover many techniques which can often be applied to full size quilts. Cost for the workshop is $35 and the fee is due at our March meeting.
On Friday 25 April, Linda will give a trunk show (starting at 7 pm) and we are combining this with a dessert party. Cost is $6 for members and tickets will be available at our March meeting. This will be a fun evening filled with food and quilts - what could be better? We would like to decorate the tables with table runners so please contribute what you can.
A reminder that for our Quilt Show on Saturday 31 May we are looking for items to decorate the Tea Room and we have two challenges - pin cushions and Christmas ornaments.
Joyce Eaton discussed a project to provide quilts for the Veterans Unit in Pictou. Many members have volunteered to provide quilts. We are looking for members to machine quilt these quilts. Please talk to Joyce about her wonderful idea.
Tickets for our raffle on our Guild Quilt are now available. There is a prize for the member who sells
the most tickets.
