THE ELM CITY QUILTERS GUILD - FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK

September, 2025

Last night was our season opener and what fun it was! Current and upcoming events were shared. Our 30th year is going to be busy and exciting. Sure hope lots of old members return and new quilters join us to celebrate. Last night had a return visit from two founding members, lots of stories, binders full of photos from the past and a celebratory cake. Following are photos from our evening and our Show & Tell.

Willa McLean & Anitra Gamble (two of the guild's funding members) joined Christine who is also a founding member for a little history and funny stories

Yes, it was good!
