Every summer has its story and part of that story for the members of the Rivers鈥� Edge Quilt Guild included quilting in the Don Ross Craft Room, completing and starting new projects.
It is anticipated these 鈥渨orks in progress鈥� will be displayed in all their glory during the 鈥渟how and tell鈥� part of the first business meeting of the new season starting Sept. 4 at 1:00 p.m. in the craft room.
In July, members were able to participate in a workshop to make a professional tote bag, designed by L. Martell. This two-day event was facilitated by Frances Wright of Maidstone who is also a member of the Quilting Squares. New skills were learned and friendships cemented during this time and, in fact, the experience was so successful many members are already making a second bag.
The guild is particularly honored to have one of its members present a solo exhibition at the Chapel Gallery in North Battleford. Heather Hochbaum, a fibre artist and also a member of the Battlefords Art Club, has her work on display until Sept. 6, with a reception Thursday, Aug. 13, from 4 to 8 p.m. Do be sure to visit this thought-provoking and colourful exhibition entitled 鈥淟ady Sings the Blues.鈥�
New members, experienced or otherwise, are invited to attend the meeting in September or any of the business meetings that are usually held the first Friday of the month. Membership in the guild provides an opportunity to discover new techniques, practise a skill, meet new people and help with charitable ventures.
