ELM CITY QUILTERS GUILD, FREDERICTON, N.B.

November is a wonderful time to snuggle down in all those quilts we've created.  This month's meeting included very informative stations set up around the hall - all kinds of different bindings, labels and sleeves for our spring quilt show.  Following is our Show & Tell for the month - a real show of talent!

June G. joined the Guild in 2002 and this is the first quilt made with the group. June was impressed with the generosity and friendliness of the Guild members.

Marg R. joined in 2002.  She brought us her first workshop piece - a bargello created from a course with Connie F.

Donna C. brought us two wall hangings and an apron of which she has made many for Christmas.  Below is a closeup of one of Donna's wall hangings.

Peggy H. presented a wedge quilt that she made from a World War II pattern.   She told us many were sent overseas for soldiers.

Peggy also brought back her scrap quilt as encouragement for new quilters.  She didn't like the purple fabric until she cut it all up and incorporated it into this bright happy quilt.

Claire B. also joined in 2002.  She brought us one her first quilts in which she used almost every square inch of her fabric to complete it.

Dora M. joined the Guild in 2004 when Claire signed her up without Dora knowing it.  Dora presented her hand quilted scrap quilt from a fabric exchange early in Dora's Guild days. 

Janet S. has found awesome ways to use scraps.  Above was made from scraps from Janet's earlier Laurie Holt quilts and the following two from Thimbleberries fabrics.  Jennie Sauve quilted all three.

Dorothy J. joined the Guild in the 2000-2005 period.  She brought us her recently finished 9 patch quilt and below is her Stack n Whack.  Dorothy quilted these herself.

Jennie S. has modern placemats and a runner.  Great colours  She quilted them herself.

Lyn F.'s daughter has laid claim to her brightly coloured cat quilt featuring the 3 family cats.

Christine B. presented her award winning quilt from this September's Frex.  It's hand sewn English paper piecing and quilted by Jennie Sauve.

A house quilt by June G.  June showed her creativity and replaced a flag block (not Canadian) with another to suit the quilt. 

Gretchen J. created a beautiful blue Irish Chain.  Quilted by Jennie Sauve.

Anitra G. showed us some real colour with her quilt above.  Anitra mentioned she loved being by water as she showed us her coastal inspired quilt.

Bonnie B. made 3 baby quilts using 3 different patterns.  Quilted by Connie F.

Sanctuary - Bonnie B.'s quilt.  The picture doesn't do the colours justice.  Quilted by Connie F.  

Chickadee - Kate T. created an original art piece from a flawed piece of fabric.  Awesome!

October 1, 2025

October brings us brightly coloured leaves, cooler temperatures and a visit from the New Brunswick Canadian Quilters Association rep, Tabitha Robinson. Tabitha filled us in on the Association and advised the next big show is in Winnipeg for 2026.

Keeping with our 30th Anniversary, some of our members who joined between 1995 to 2000 presented quilts they did during this period.

And as usual, this was followed by our Show & Tell which once again displayed the incredible talents of the Elm City members.

Anniversary Quilts:

Starting our display of quilts from this month's featured 1995-2000 group is one by Elaine S. Elaine joined in 1996. She started with a course, one inch squares and then hand quilted it too.

Diane K. joined in 1999. She didn't do this sampler with the Guild but did note that it took a long time to finish.

Liz R. and Allison H. joined in 1999. They made these two scrap quilts by joining in on a work day.

Lucille P. was inspired by another Guild member back in 1997. Lucille made "Corn & Beans" and hand quilted it herself.

Lucille also made this wall hanging that was a group challenge.

Susan Mayo joined in 1997. This is a reversible Quilt as You Go that Susan did as a course with our own Christine B.  Following is the other side of Susan's quilt.

Susan also took a Ricky Tims Convergence course presented by Gwenda M.

And Susan also used wool on this runner

Doris K. was our final Anniversary presenter this evening. Doris made this sampler which she hand quilted.

SHOW & TELL

June G. made a pillow from her free motion thread painting - a course taught by Lucille P.

June also brought us her 10 Minute Block quilt.

Betty V. is always very creative. This time it's a wall hanging with fussy cut pieces inserted into fabric, embellished and free motion quilted.

Cathy H. appliqued cute bunnies on this baby quilt that was quilted by Janet S.

Cathy continued with blue bunnies quilted by Gwenda M.

Bertha M brought us another biggie - this one she decided to call Illusion. This one was from a pattern from Marj. D.

Angela W. showed us two quilts tonight - one for Halloween and ..... this was followed by a Christmas quilt

Janet S. combined her love of houses with her love of flowers. Her own pattern.

Janet also presented a batik quilt she keeps on her sofa.

Elaine S. made this one at a retreat last weekend from a 3 yard quilt pattern.

Kate T. presented her Birds of Paradise - as a new member this is her first showing to us.

Joyce N. used a thrift shop find to make a table runner.

And then Joyce blew us away with a book she made herself - pages and pages of neat stuff! See the following. Photos don't do it justice.
