Our September meeting was held on September 10th.  We had a very full house!  It is great to see our group growing.  

We started our meeting with a tiny bit of business including announcing upcoming quilt shows and our Thread Bar Workshop that will take place October 1st.  

The date for the South Western Ontario Modern Quilt Retreat 2018 (SWOMod) was also announced and it will take place April 6-8, 2018.  A $100 deposit is due by April 1, 2017 to secure our spot.  For more information you can visit the quilt retreat website by clicking here.

Sonia lead a discussion and exercise about the colour Red.  This is our last discussion in our year long colour series.  Sonia had us create a layered improvisational block using a technique by Sherri Lynn Wood of Dainty Time.​

As always we had a fantastic group of quilts shared during our Show and Share:
Since our next meeting falls on Thanksgiving weekend, the meeting will be a catch up meeting and sew day.  If you missed any of the lessons from this year, you can come to the meeting to see demonstrations and ask questions!  It will take place October 8.  Hope to see you there!
