We're Off and Running for 2022-23

First meeting of the year! Good turn out and a great show and tell. So much stunning work by so many talented ladies - can't wait to see what next month brings.

The following seven pictures are all projects completed by Janet S. What a busy lady she's been since the start of Covid - and they don't include the Tiny Homes quilts. Lovely work, Janet.

Beautiful appliques and a scrap buster combined. 

Janet added that Joyce N. helped her with colour selections.

Janet's Nature Challenge wall hanging.

A great scrap buster

Snowmen in all colours - beautiful applique work

The flowers are so cute and look at that quilting!

Janet's love of aqua and teal certainly show here.  The pattern is "Slide Show"

And now on to Joyce N.'s quilts - always innovative

Joyce's Under the Sea colour wash - it takes time to see all the creatures incorporated into this engaging quilt.  

So pretty - Joyce said she had a lot of 2.5" squares that needed a home

This is Peggy L.'s star and log cabins - so beautiful - love the border

Christine P.'s Airplane baby quilt.  Some little one will be lucky to receive such a sweet gift.

Linda W.,s "Painted Ladies" house quilt.  Look at the cute trim between the roofs and houses.  Love the colours.

Marie Lyne F.s Disappearing 9 Patch.  Great colour choices

Marie Lyne F's "Damn Quilt"  This project through no fault of her own gave her great grief but we are happy to report it's completed and absolutely lovely.  Great work!

Bonnie B.;s Halloween Table Toppers.  The photo didn't do the colours justice as they are much more striking.

Bonnie B.'s "Circle Back" quilt completed in time for her granddaughter's birthday.  Lucky girl to receive such an awesome gift.

Flo B.'s  "Summer Breezes" quilt in soft yellow s and blues.  This is being gifted to a recently arrived  Ukrainian family. - what an awesome gift.

Flo has also made many, many bowl cozies to support a pet charity - how thoughtful and caring

Betty V.'s Polar Bear baby quilt that she free motion quilted herself.  This is gorgeous!  Would make a great wall hanging as well.

Betty V.'s table toppers - maybe some shattered ice for her polar bears?

Allison H.'s baby quilt in yellows and grays - so modern and fresh looking.

Dorothy J.s Carpenter's Wheel  that she both hand and machine quilted.  Great colour combination.

Marg R.;s Retreat Quilt in beautiful soft colours

Linda B.s "Gypsy Wife" quilt.  She long arm quilted it herself.  This is one you have to stop and really look to take in all the different blocks and colours - so pretty

What a great stash buster - Cecile G.'s scrappy beauty.

Barb E. joined us as a guest last night and shared her very recently completed quilt.   Barb utilized many quilting techniques and many gifted fabrics to complete her project.  Very artistic.

Join us at the Burtts Corner Lions Club on Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24th for a Quiltin' good time!

If our quilts inspire you to make your own - we will have several vendors on site who will be happy to help you to get your next project going!

 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
