We have a member who is searching for fabric. It is from Three Sisters by Moda She needs 1/2 meter. If you happen to have any please contact Maggie N. or you may reply thru the website. Thanks everybody!
Lots of additions to the website today! Information regarding the Community Action Committee's summer preemie challenge has been posted. I can't wait to see the wonderful display of preemie quilts at the September 2012 guild meeting. I am very interested in choosing a quilt block and enlarging it to 24". I think choosing a favourite block could be the most difficult part of this challenge since there are so many I love! Many of you attended the presentation by Lucie Heins of the Royal Alberta Museum which was held Tuesday at the Grande Prairie Museum. She is conducting a survey of Albertan quilters to get a picture of quilters in Alberta at the beginning of the 21st century. You can become part of Alberta's history and give future generations an insight into quilters and quilting in Alberta! Find the survey under Events. This is only the first step of Lucie's plans to study quilters and quilts of Alberta. She hopes to establish a heritage quilt registry for Alberta, much like those that exist in eastern parts of Canada. We have so much to look forward to!
Many people have expressed the wish of having a website for our guild. I happened across Weebly and decided that I would give it a try. After spending a couple of hours last night setting up the website I excitedly told my two children I had created a website! I was very surprised when my daughter told me she had a website on Weebly too! If I had only known! At least now I have someone to go to when I run into difficulties!
I am hoping that our blog can be used to share ideas, ask for help, tell about guild activities and upcoming events. I welcome any ideas you have. Do you know of a website our members might be interested in? Have you come across a picture of an amazing quilt? Do you have a sewing machine you would like to sell? Are you looking for a particular piece of fabric to finish a quilt? This is our blog to keep our members connected! Hope you enjoy! |
