 LAST GUILD MEETING OF THE YEAR

Last night saw the final meeting of this year - a social and short show and tell.  Hoping to see everyone back in September with loads of show and tell to share.

First up is Peggy L.'s Floral Log Cabin quilt.  What a beauty!

Peggy H. & Beryl S. created the next two lovely quilts for donation to the Tiny Homes Project.

The ladies used printed sheets for the backings.  Great idea and an awesome way to use up all our little pieces.

Cheery table runner kits were given to all the Mini Retreat participants.  Gloria P. and Bonnie B. have completed their project - all ready for summer.

Joyce N. has completed another fantastic colour wash project - all about under the sea.  She never fails to surprise us with all her innovative ways to combine fabrics.

And our final showing was belongs to Bertha M.  Bertha did hand embroidery in the centre and hand quilted this beauty.  The second shot is the back showing all her hand quilting.

 MAY'S MONTHLY MEETING

Last night's monthly meeting saw us joined by local wood fiber artist, Ralph Simpson.  Ralph gave us some insight into his journey up to today.  After retiring from his career as a biologist, Ralph went to the NB College of Craft & Design and now creates and teaches weaving - baskets and other artworks using barks, grasses, flowers and other plants.  His talk was interesting and informative and his work is beautiful.  

Ralph opened the meeting and show and tell closed the meeting - enjoy the following pictures of both.

The following is Ralph's personal favorite of his works completed to date - beautiful work!

And now, our show and tell - everyone should be so proud of such beautiful work

A project was given to each mini retreat participant. Quite a few were completed and some were almost finished.

Two more completed quilts for the Tiny Homes Project. The first is a sampler quilt donated by Elizabeth Fusk and the second is one completed by June G. Beautiful work and it was so kind to pass them along to the Project.

 Day 1 of the Mini Retreat

We just completed day 1 of the first mini retreat since the start of Covid and what a great time! We're laughing, sewing, chatting and eating just like the old days - sort of - we are wearing a mask when on the move. Christine, Cathy and Heather came up with a sweet table runner project complete with the fabric to make it. Show and tell tomorrow. The meals have been fantastic! We've played a fun game that has us all digging deep into all the things we brought with us with awesome prizes awarded to the winners.

We all received kits for the sweet table runner below

Christine provided some more samples and told us how to make it bigger and bigger

Margie was keen to get her's started

Anita is hard at work on her quilt

Diane and Margie in consultation

The meals have been awesome.  Thanks so much to Christine, Cathy and Heather for all their hard week to make this such a fun weekend.

Game winners - Marlene, Mary and Bonnie

Congrats to all - have fun with your prizes.
