Twenty enthusiastic members of Rivers' Edge Quilters held their first meeting of 2014 Jan. 3 at the Don Ross Craft Room.
A report was received indicating that 15 Walker bags had been donated to the residents of Villa Pascal. The Battlefords Empty Stocking Fund received: 15 quilts, two large quilts, 10 pillows and a variety of toques, mitts and scarves. Some were personal donations handled by the guild. Items were placed in the Christmas hampers that are delivered to residents of the community. Letters of appreciation were received from both.
A letter of appreciation from the City of North Battleford 2013 Centennial Committee commented on the material assembled by Barb Sealy for the time capsule that will be opened in 2114. The envelope included a brief history of the guild, membership list of 2013, news articles of 2013, information about the projects of today, equipment and resources available, quilting terms, how things have changed and some thoughts and ideas of what might be in 2114. May the love of stitching in the company of peers continue for at least the next century!
An interesting variety of projects have been planned for the weeks ahead.
As always, several members brought completed items to be admired by all.
