March 26, 2024 Program Day

 Program/Workshop Day

Ethel R. and Jane K. prepared and shared some kits for Charity/Donation Sewing Day. Numerous members arrived to participate, some bringing along fabric and projects and I think everyone would agree it was a productive day.

Several heart shaped Mastectomy Pillows were sewn, stuffed and finished. Here is a link to a tutorial.

A popular small project was Drain Bag covers.

The members sewing the larger Anti-Ouch Pouch project seemed to be pretty fast too.

Five members worked on baby quilts. Ethel R. presented a QAYG method of sewing an Amish Bar quilt. They were at various stages by end of day and each will be finished at home.

Vera T. donated this lovely quilt made from a panel.

Susan S. brought in two quilts for donation!

Joyce B, head of the Cuddle Quilt Committee was on hand to accept all completed items.

The hand quilting on the Guild Quilt was completed today and it was removed from the frames.

Debbie F. has enjoyed experimenting with different colour combinations for her trade blocks.

Cynthia V. told us about families from South Africa and from Brazil that are new to the area. She and her friend Davine took on the challenge of projects for them.

We all got a close up of the lovely label she made, a project from a book Gail F. destashed.

Renate B. used pink in her trade blocks.

Vera T.'s quilt was made from a kit she received for Christmas 2022. There is even quite a bit of leftover fabric.

Agathe K. Showed us a large quilt that has bottom corners cut on an angle.

This smaller project was made from the scraps.

And she got the most out of her fabric by using the crumb pieces for her next project.

Diane B. has made a personalized throw pillow and a bench pillow for her sun porch.

Her panel quilt will be a lovely gift for a grandson.

Judy S. brought in a workshop project from 1997. Her lady is actually a tea cozy.

Gail R. is enjoying knitting socks

Sharon R. made an apron from the 20 Minute Adjustable Apron pattern. She modified it for size since it is a birthday gift for her son-in-law.

Judy H. crocheted a basket but found that she used a yarn that was too soft. Helen S. had a little fun and tried it on for size. LOL

Jane K. showed her finished project from the interrupted/ fractured panel workshop.

Susan S. featured both snowmen and Easter themed projects.

Show and Tell was followed by a DEMO by Jane K.'s featuring her favourite sewing/quilting tools and ordinary household items that are helpful in crafting projects
