The Rivers鈥� Edge Quilt Guild held its regular monthly meeting Oct. 2 at the Don Ross Craft room. The meeting was attended by 18 members and one guest.
June Newsham, our new president, collected envelopes with her challenge for the quilters for this year. Each envelope has a piece of paper describing an unfinished project to be completed by May.
A special request was forwarded to quilt guilds across the country to make Christmas stockings of all sizes. The stockings will be filled with donated items and raffled off at a ladies鈥� night. All money raised will be donated to the Children鈥檚 Wish Foundation.
Thank you to Barb Sealy for collecting the stockings and forwarding them to Jinny Goulet. Pictured are just a few of the ones collected to send to ladies鈥� night in Alberta.
Every September a few days are set aside to make comfort quilts. These quilts are made with donated material and donated time, to be given away.
Quilt shows are always fun. It is an opportunity to view awesome displays, enter draws and visit with fellow quilters. Of course, every once in a while you win, as Joyce Vany found out. The beautiful quilt she won was designed and completed by the Sylvan Lake Quilters. Joyce has yet to decide who will be the recipient of this work of art.
Members are looking forward to taking the colour theory class this month. Our guild has some talented members who are willing to share their knowledge. As a bonus we will be making a small quilt during the class.
As usual the show and tell portion of the meeting is always exciting as you can see from some of the pictures this month.
Feel free to visit our meeting the first Friday of each month in the Don Ross Craft Room at 1 p.m. Whether you are a beginner or experienced quilter you are invited to join us. For more information contact June at 306-445-3337 or Irene at 306-937-3318.
