Merry Christmas!Well Friends - 2018 has been an incredible year for the MMQG!<br />
<br />
Wishing you the ability to take some downtime this holiday season, spending it with the ones you love. And perhaps, getting to sleep before sunrise on Christmas Morning, finishing your last minute gifts.<br />
<br />
Stay Tuned for the 2019 Schedule and a little rundown of your 2019 MMQG Executive - hoping that 2019 brings even more quilty goodness to us all.<br />
<br />

Hoping you've been doing some #selfishsewing and following our adventures on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/maritimemodernqg/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_maritimemqg/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!<br />
<br />
I wanted to be sure everyone local was aware - on October 12th, 2018 we are having a special meeting of the MMQG that will be a Trunk Show with Modern Quilter <a href="http://www.cherylarkison.com/" target="_blank">Cheryl Arkison</a>!<br /><br />Full Details are on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/296787437580382/" target="_blank">MMQG Facebook Event</a><br />
<br />
We are beyond excited to welcome Cheryl to the region, and looking forward to our sold out workshop weekend on the two days that follow.<br />
<br />
Our trunk show with Cheryl will also be held at a special location (with better visibility to display Cheryl's quilts than our normal meeting space). Join us at Mount Saint Vincent University, in the Evaristus Building, Room 104. Signs will be posted in the building to help you find your way. Otherwise, here's a neat <a href="http://www.msvu.ca/en/home/aboutus/safety-security/campusmap.aspx" target="_blank">campus map</a> that might help. Evaristus is #12 on the map, the building that is up the hill about half way.<br />
<br />
Guests: $5<br />
MMQG Members: Free! :)<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there,<br />

<br />
Mary was so generous with her time and provided a great presentation at our March 2017 MMQG Meeting - however, we thought you might want more of the juicy details in a longer blog post. Thank you so much to Mary for her time and willingness to document and share so much of her trip.<br />

You see, November is a special month for us. It's our birthday! The guild has grown so much since a handful of quilty people met for the first time in a VON Boardroom in 2013, and we have the dedication of our many executive and guild members to thank for this.<br />
<br />
This years party was a total hit! There were almost $500 in prizes to be won, and everyone went away with a little something. Fat Quarter Cupcakes were almost cute enough to eat!<br />

Big thanks to President Crystal for scouring the prize bin and for doing some serious hustle to collect all these wonderful prizes for us.<br />
<br />
We had a little program too - Amanda showed us the sweetest technique for flanged binding. Crystal shared a sweet prairie point Christmas tree ornament that can be made with very little sewing. A perfect project for our homemade ornament swap that is held at our Christmas Party.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each MMQG Executive Committee Member is a special person, and we thank them for the tireless hours they put into making sure we all have a great guild experience. We've just had our first ever election (usually there's no contest - so this is awesome!) and this is the lowdown on who will lead the MMQG into the new year.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Now, without further ado - your 2018 Maritime Modern Quilt Guild Executive, in no particular order:<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">President - Crystal Gammon</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Crystal is a wife, mother, registered nurse and one heck of a quilter! You can often find her whipping up a Hazel Hedgehog pillow, chasing a toddler, or planning guild stuff while at the football field. #godestroyers! This is Crystal's second year as President and for that we are PUMPED. You can find her on the good ol' Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/halifaxmom/" target="_blank">@halifaxmom</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Vice President & Retreat Coordinator - Amanda Nielsen</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />New to the executive team this year, we are fortunate to have <a href="https://www.instagram.com/am.niels/" target="_blank">Amanda</a> join us as Vice President, and remain as Retreat Coordinator for a second year. She LOVES Carolyn Friedlander fabrics, and puts her trade as a stage manager to good use at home right now - wrangling four wild and wonderful sons and shift working spouse. Welcome Amanda!<br /><br />Secretary & Charity Coordinator - Jeanette Smith</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stampstitchcreate/" target="_blank">Jeanette</a> has been a valued member of our executive for many years. Her secretarial skills are second to none, and have you SEEN the colour palettes she chooses for her quilts? Just, wow. She is also half of the creative goodness that is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SeamWorkquiltandtextilegoods/" target="_blank">Seam Work.</a> Jeanette has two busy highland-dancing girls, a lovely husband who doesn't mind at all when we commandeer their house for an exec meeting, and Ben - the cutest Cavalier King Charles Spaniel you've ever seen.</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /><br />Treasurer - Aimee Semel</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Aimee has also served as the MMQG Treasurer for a long time. In addition to doing a bang up job managing our dollars, she's the mother of a superhero! Baby Katie is basically our hero/mascot. Of note: Aimee almost never irons, works almost exclusively in solids, and is the mastermind behind </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/candycoatedquilts/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Candy Coated Quilts</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /><br />Social Media Coordinator - Sarah Pettipas</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Sarah is a healthcare administrator by day, and our social media aficionado by night... and sometimes also by day. She is pretty sure she was a mermaid in a past life, loves crafts of all kinds, is married and hates scary movies. Sarah enjoys quilted projects that can be completed in a sitting or two (have you SEEN her work-in-progress shelf?), keeps every scrap of nautical fabric big and small, and can also be found <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahpettipas/" target="_blank">@sarahpettipas</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweettinystitches/" target="_blank">@sweettinystitches</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_maritimemqg/" target="_blank">@_maritimemqg</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Workshop Coordinator - Andrea Bezanson<br /><br />Another new addition to the Exec team this year - is the wonderful human <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theandipants/" target="_blank">Andrea</a>. When she's not working the day job, or reading for pleasure (now that school is over - YES!!!), she can be found loving Harry Potter, hanging out with her rad son, or petting fabric. THANK YOU Andrea for joining the team!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />MQG Ambassador - Andrea Tsang Jackson</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />We are not sure how she finds the time, but we do love our MQG Ambassador Andrea T J. She is an incredible pattern designer, mother and mastermind behind the creative goodness at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/3rdstoryworkshop/" target="_blank">3rd Story Workshop</a>. We really appreciate the time Andrea takes from her busy schedule to keep us up to date on the goings on with the greater MQG organization, and look forward to having you with us this again this year!<br /><br /><br />Swaps Coordinator - Adrienne Klenck</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">After a little Executive rest, our Past Prez <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chezzquilts/" target="_blank">Adrienne</a> puts her Executive pants back on this year as our Swaps Coordinator! As the other half of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SeamWorkquiltandtextilegoods/" target="_blank">Seam Work</a>, a kind and patient instructor for beginner quilters, spouse and partner in an urban gardening business and a project manager in health care by day, you never know what Adrienne will sew up next! Much love to her furry assistants/babies: Orangie, Penny, and Charlie Dog.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>And last but not least</b> - a special thank you to outgoing Executive members this year: Lori Parsons (Workshops), <a href="https://www.instagram.com/anjaquilts/" target="_blank">Anja Clyke</a> (Charity) and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/quarter_inch_from_the_edge/" target="_blank">Jennifer Trott-Zisserson</a> (Vice Prez). You've each served more than one year on executive - and so todays MMQG would NOT be the same without you! Your dedication to making the guild a great, creative place - is so appreciated.</span></span><br />

Hello Quilty friends from far and wide - hang on to your hats as tonight's blog post is a whopper.<br />
<br />
You may, or may not, have noticed that the MMQG Blog was on a little rest this summer and early fall. Summer, and Fall, can be busy bee times for lots of reasons. We all have them - but we're here tonight to do a proper recap and hoping you'll enjoy it all the more for the anticipation.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August, September and October Meetings:</h3>
<div>
Meetings can be a little scantily attended in the summer time - and so our August meeting was short, and sweet. We had a great demo from Anja on no-waste flying geese and the many ways you can get many, many HSTs from larger squares - and we love to get as many units as we can from our scraps!<br />

And social media Sarah made the dress she was wearing too... #notpictured #photographerproblems</div>

<div>
Lots more treasures came to show and share as well - some were top secret and therefore also not pictured... we love seeing those gifts you're giving, before you give them!<br />

The October meeting program was called "Finishing School" - a cute play on words to share many techniques for finishing your items in a clever way. We learned techniques like <span style="text-indent: 36pt;">how
to install an invisible zipper, how to make a hanging sleeve, how to make
piping and put it on a project, how to finish off binding with glue, and how
make invisible pieced backing. A big thanks to Karen, Crystal, Julia and Adrienne for sharing their skills! How many people hustled home to put in an invisible zipper? </span></div>

<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">August, September and October Sew-Ins:</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">In the summer - we whisk away to an air conditioned sew-in space - a big THANK YOU to Anja for arranging with Atlantic Fabrics for us to use their classroom. August sew in was another small but mighty team, with some cute projects on the go as per usual.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">September we had some logistical difficulties, but where there's a will and a generous soul, there's a way! Julia was hosting a little quilt market prep sew-in in the basement of her church, and she graciously extended some space to us to get organized with our charity quilts. A big thanks to everyone who switched plans mid stream and came out to help.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">October sew-in was held just last weekend back in our regular location - and it felt like a mid-summer day! As per usual we spent time catching up, planning fabric pillaging voyages, hand quilting, snacking and laughing. Here are a few shots from the August, September and October Sew-Ins for your viewing pleasure.</span></div>

WOAH!Hello MMQG Fans!<br />
<br />
As July is usually time for a little rest and relaxation - here's hoping you enjoy this multi-purpose blog post. Our July meeting was our annual member's de-stash yard sale and games night. Bring your scraps and your neglected notions, your unloved rulers and bits and bobs - one quilters tired-of magazines are another ones treasure we've found! We also played some rounds of Kahoot and of course our favorite game, Left Center Right. The stakes were high, as the winner of LCR took away over 20 new fat quarters! We love fat quarters.<br />

Then, we had a lovely cozy EPP Workshop at the Central Library in Halifax. It was a drizzly evening, perfect for inside sewing. Led by our fabulous VP Jennifer, we had just a few people - totally enough to enjoy some one on one teaching time and asking all the questions, learning about tried and true resources for shapes of all kinds. We also got to sharing what various and sundry bits and bobs made up our EPP kits, if we already had one - certainly we all came away learning something new!<br />

<i><br /></i>
* A midnight madness sew-in: Much like a regular sew in, only with HUGE attendance, many many generous donations of snacks, rollicking rounds of Left Centre Right, a coffee maker, a pizza party, some swimming... so - really like the most epic of sew-ins.<br />
<br />
It may have been the perfect day to hold this sew in, as it was quite rainy. No one in attendance mentioned they'd rather be home in the yard. We scheduled our fun from 10 am till midnight! Although, I estimate the last stitch was sewn around 11:15 and we were cleaned up and gone by 11:40. We quilters are efficient and precise, even with our scheduled fun.<br />
<br />
A very special thanks goes out to Pat - who surprised us mid afternoon with a Build Your Own Banana Split Ice Cream Bar!<br />

<br />Another ENORMOUS thank you to everyone involved in supporting this event. The families who gave up their quilters and took care of everything at home and beyond, the bringers of snacks, the lenders of supplies, providers of prizes and vaccumers(?) of threads! It was an immense success and perhaps, will become an annual event.</div>

Stay tuned to our social media channels for coverage of our July meeting (coming up on Thursday!) and sew-in later in the month. Hope you enjoyed the Midnight madness re-cap!<br /></div>

<br />
We were excited! "What would she bring?" we wondered. "Will we get to snuggle the quilts?"<br />
But of course, we sure did. We had over 75 POUNDS of quilts to look at and cuddle, during our special Trunk Show with the lovely and talented Krista Hennebury of <a href="http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Poppyprint</a>.<br />
<br />
Krista's time with us represented the end of the whirlwhind #maritimepoppyprint2017 tour, wrapping up three weeks spent with different guilds in different places on the east coast of Canada - and a quick nip to <a href="http://www.spm-tourisme.fr/" target="_blank">France</a>!<br />
<br />
It was a packed house with 23 members and 3 guests who came to see what Krista had to share. We were also treated with the opportunity to buy patterns and Krista's book: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Make-Take-Clever-Projects-Friends-ebook/dp/B00T3N68MY" target="_blank">Make It, Take It: 16 Cute and Clever Projects to Sew With Friends</a>. My personal favorite is the needle book that has POCKETS so you can stash your needle packages and remember exactly what size top-stitch needles you may have purchased. Not that anyone ever forgets these things... 😆<br />
<br />
We started the evening off with a little presentation from Krista called "Modern Quilting: What's it all about?" A great review of the things that make a quilt modern. For those already familiar with the concept gained knowledge of some pioneering designers and quilt artists who really built the foundation of the modern quilting movement. It was a real treat to see photos of some of the <a href="http://www.soulsgrowndeep.org/gees-bend-quiltmakers" target="_blank">Gee's Bend</a> quilts, where you can see the pocket outlines in the stripes. The first modern quilts were made of field clothes and old dresses, end cuts and scraps from the corduroy pillowcases made for Sears Roebuck by the Freedom Quilting Bee collaborative for some time in the 1970's. <br />
<br />
The modern quilt is made to be loved, sat on, washed and dried, thrown in the car, taken on road trips, and picnic-ed upon, taken to school by grown and growing up kids, and gifted to newlyweds - always carried around by, and wrapped around, the people who love them.<br />
<br />
Now, the trunk show. As Krista described the stories behind some of her pieces, you could hear a pin drop. Krista's work is absolutely infused with colour, life and love.<br />
<br />
Now, I'll let the pictures do the talking:<br />

</div>
Hello there followers from near and far!<br />
<br />
April 2017 was SUCH an exciting month for the MMQG - we've hardly had time to organize our thoughts about it. Please enjoy some highlights of our April meeting, our April sew in, and of course we'd be amiss not to mention the retreat. The retreat was so amazing - it will get it's own post!<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
April Meeting - April 13th 2017</h4>
We had a great time at our April meeting - attendance was thinner than last month as it's possible this was the first beautiful weather evening of the year.<br />
<br />
To start us off on the right foot - we did a prize draw and new member Nora was the winner! Horray!<br />
We had a short business list to take care of, including reminders about our <a href="http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Poppyprint</a> Trunk Show at our May meeting and the upcoming Executive Challenge due in June! Think hard about "Words on Quilts", members - there are some pretty exciting prizes on the line I've heard!<br />

We polished off the business portion with a great big THANK YOU to amazing Retreat Coordinator Amanda (who had recovered nicely by the meeting and we appreciate so much). What a wonderful time we had at retreat, and Amanda was instrumental in making it all happen.<br />

For our program that evening - we had the lovely and talented Vice President Jennifer (<a href="http://quarterinchfromtheedge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">A Quarter Inch from the Edge</a>) blow our minds entirely with some amazing time saving techniques and tips. The chain piecing of polaroid blocks pretty much stole the show!<br />

April Sew In - April 22nd 2017</h4>

About a dozen of us gathered on a rainy Saturday in April - at our usual sew-in spot. It was a great day for sewing as the rain came and went all day long. Extreme fog too! No one felt guilty for staying inside to sew.</div>

I'll let the pictures from the day speak for themselves!</div>

The March MMQG meeting was exactly that.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
President Crystal shared the budget with us in Treasure Aimee's absence and as a result we had a great discussion on some opportunities to expand our guild activities. Thanks to everyone for your contributions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
Each year, we choose a charity to receive quilts that we make from a particular block - we were thrilled to learn at the meeting that this year, as chosen by membership, Ronald McDonald House in Halifax will be the recipient of our quilty efforts. We will be making string blocks as demonstrated by Linda at our January meeting. More information on the Charity Quilt program is available, by emailing Charity Coordinator Anja at mmqgcharity @gmail.com<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We heard about our upcoming <a href="http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Poppyprint</a> workshop with the lovely and talented Krista Hennebury coming up in May - thank you Workshop Coordinator Lori for herding us all and making sure we are registered. Krista has had interest from people all over the Eastern Seaboard in these workshops - so maybe we will meet some new friends too! We will be doing the Quarter Round pattern on Saturday May 13 and the Speed Dating with Improv pattern on Sunday May 14. What a great opportunity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An IMMENSE thank you is due for our Retreat Coordinator Amanda - the retreat update provided huge excitement and it's coming up so quickly. Last we heard, 22 excited quilters will be retreating at the beautiful White Point Beach Resort and we just can't wait. Thank you Amanda for getting this all together - it's a lions share of work and is so appreciated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wasting no time - we had two excellent programs presented to us: Our Mary G. provided a wonderful overview of her trip to QuiltCon and our Mindy M. shared a sweet demo of her hand quilting technique and kit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mary's QuilCon presentation was so amazing, we've invited her to write a guest blog post - so eyes peeled for this special feature in the coming weeks. </div>

Then, we were so fortunate to have Mindy show us some samples of her hand quilting, using perle cotton and any needle at hand! We loved her easy going style and the portability of the hand quilting techniques she demonstrated. Many of us hustled in the next few days to find some heavier weight thread and got to hand stitching, the program was so inspiring! Thank you Mindy for sharing your time and samples of your work, (the Fruit Dress Quilt is so touching and just adorable) and inspiring us to get back to hand sewing. </div>

<br />
Our February meeting got canned on account of terrible weather, and so we went right from our Record Breaking January Sew In to our February Sew In. Over the course of the day, we saw 17 happy faces come to visit and sew. It was so nice to see everyone!<br /><br />
Here's a look at some of the beauties (and the set ups) being sewn on that mild and misty Saturday a few weeks ago.<br />
<br />

We had 35 members in attendance. So nice to see familiar and new faces - many new members in attendance, as well as some we haven't seen in quite a while. Welcome back everyone!<br><div><br></div><div>Our January meeting was special for many reasons.</div><div>Firstly, we had the "coronation" of our new President...</div><div><br></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" class="bloggoimg" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-I5ip9IgaZfQ/WHuLQxk_ALI/AAAAAAAAF0c/iI1kj6HeU_0/I/photo_744827.jpg"></div><br><span style="text-align: center;"> Left: Outgoing (and Founding) Prez Adrienne Klenck </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Right: Incoming (and Fabulous) Prez Crystal Gammon</div><div><br></div><div>Complete with a tiara, and official passing of the gavel and banner to our new President, Crystal Gammon. Thank you Crystal for taking the reins and guiding us in this new year and next!</div><div><br></div><div>Then, we had a special surprise thank you presentation for our outgoing President, Adrienne Klenck... many happy tears were shed and a well deserved round of applause erupted for our Adrienne. Sneakily, many of us had been working on a quilt for Adrienne for months. It was a labour of love to assemble many Raspberry Kiss blocks in MMQG colours, a paper pieced logo, get it quilted, and beautifully bound in time for the presentation. </div><div><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" class="bloggoimg" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nGRvD5QWWV0/WHuKxTjGOzI/AAAAAAAAFzM/-xU_qvoxuMU/I/photo_597781.jpg"> <img border="0" class="bloggoimg" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0us7HukBAhQ/WHuKxmG3BrI/AAAAAAAAFzQ/ihl7q-sl7V8/I/photo_447102.jpg"> <img border="0" class="bloggoimg" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JeThAuEg9Ko/WHuKxilKuUI/AAAAAAAAFzU/j4E1Z9NbkEI/I/photo_944643.jpg"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amanda and Linda present Adrienne with her quilt. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">And, I would be a bad kid if I missed this special thank you - Linda Smith. Linda is our outgoing social media princess, and I have assumed the position - I'm Sarah Pettipas and you'll be hearing from me (and others, thank goodness) on our social media outlets. Thank you so kindly for taking our MMQG social media presences to new wild places in the three years you have been at the helm.

Beyond fabulous! A quilter's dream.....Sew all day with friends, no lunches to make, no laundry, no noses to wipe, no dishes to wash....you get it! And just look at the awesome progress that was made. A quilt in the making...We were very, very pleased to welcome Libs Elliott to Nova Scotia and to our guild to present her class on how to recreate her Weight of Love quilt. MMQGers are a hard core qroup of modern quilters who accept a challenge to perform and today was no different. Libs lead us through the intricacies of her pattern and we all took it and ran. There will be some amazing quilts in the future so stay tuned! </span><br />

It is our third birthday as a modern guild. So many good memories, so many awesome quilts and quilty things were made over the past three years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MMQG! Here's to many more years of quilty companionship and creative inspiration! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Because our lovely Prez, Adrienne, couldn't attend,(we missed you!) our lovely Secretary, Jeanette, lead us through our meeting. Thanks for a job well done! And more thanks to Sandra for supervising our swap for the evening. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">MMQG 2016 CHARITY PROJECT - At this meeting, we presented <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Kylene Mellor, representative from </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The IWK Health Centre, which is a hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia that provides care to women, children, and youth from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, with 21 quilts made by various members of our guild. We know these quilts will give a quilty hug to many. Thank you to all who participated. We are very proud of our members for their generosity. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After our presentation, we went on to our program for the evening. Our members, Gail and Frances, former pysiotherapists, shared with us lots of valuable information regarding how we as quilters need to take care of our backs, and necks, and shoulders. We learned that "sitting is the new smoking" and very detrimental to our health. We need to move around and be mindful of our posture. Thanks, Ladies! A great learning experience. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another fabulous MMQG monthly meeting happened this past Thursday evening, attended by 30 happy quilters! Seriously, the room was abuzz with conversation and laughter until our Prez, Adrienne, brought the meeting to order with a short business meeting. After that, it was time for our in-guild Fat Eighths Swap. Sorry, no pics to share of the swap but rest assured there was lots of oohing and aahing. Then it was on to our program for the evening. No Sew Christmas Ornaments with member Crystal. She gave a very indepth tutorial on how to make these awesome ornaments. We think Crystal may have a whole treeful of Blue Jays ornaments ready for Christmas! Thanks, Crystal, everyone enjoyed your program. And thanks, as well, to Shelly for taking all the photos for the evening. She is a wizard with a selfie stick!</span><br />
