I had too much chocolate on my hands to take a photo! But believe me, they were a hit!
Adrienne, our President, couldn't be with us (missed you) so Jennifer took the reins and conducted our meeting. Great job Jenn!
First order of business, Choose a charity that will be the recipient of our group quilt(s)
We heard from three presenters and by ballot, the charity of choice was chosen
The Lodge that Gives in Halifax - for cancer patients and their families.
We collected a number of HSTs that will be made into quilts for the donation.
Our program for the evening was a very informative talk on photographing quilts. The talk was given by professional photographer, Lyndsay Doyle. Click on her name to check out her website.
Here are a few shots of Show and Share time and a look at what our Members are creating these days.
Cathy S. received her pouch from the swap with the Victoria Modern Guild |
We had a bit of extra time to socialize and just talk quilting. A great time was had by all and we were very happy to have a guest quilter from Switzerland join us and participate in our Show and Share.
Thanks again to Chris for hosting our meetings in her lovely shop, Patch Halifax ,
Hope you can join us for our next Sew-In Day.
