March Show and Tell

   
     The March meeting of ECQG had an informative program with Joan Baldwin presenting a talk on Victoria Quilts Canada.

     A HUGE thank you to Faye Charlton who was gracious enough to step in and take photos for Sandra Noftell, of the meeting and Show and Tell.  And a big thank you to Pat Parrill who took names of members in the photographs that Faye took, to help me keep the things straight.

     Joan's program will be written up in the ECQG April Newsletter and you can therefore get more information there.

SHOW and TELL


    And then of course we had an excellent S&T by our ECQG members that were in attendance!!  What a great night.

   Don't forget those of you who for one reason or another were not able to get to the meeting.  Please send me pictures of your "new products" that you have made and I will publish them.  Often we give those items we make away before we are able to show them.  So...do send.

Charity Day 2014


   A recent Saturday's Workshop Day was in support of Victoria Quilts (quilts made and given out across Canada to people with cancer) and was a resounding success!  Thanks to all who participated on the day and or took kits home to make quilt tops.  There were others in our Guild who made tops using their own patterns and fabric.

 Thank you!!
