Happy quilting!
At our meeting last October, we discussed different needles and threads used for quilting. I recently discovered that Superior Threads has two handy apps available for both Apple products and Android Products. If you're not sure which thread to use for a specific project, you may want to consider downloading "Superior's Threads Selection Guide". The second app available, "How Much Thread" will give you an estimate on how much thread will be required for your quilting project. If you are using an Apple product such as an iPhone or iPad, you can download these apps to your device using the Apple App Store. If you are using an Android product, you can download these apps to your device using the Google Play Store.

Christmas has come early! Here is our new official logo: Thank you to Sasha Stanojevic for generously donating his time to create this logo for the Londn Modern Quilt Guild Canada! If you would like to see some more of Sasha's work, please have a look at his website www.sahasaFX.com.
Did you know that Robert Kaufman has a very handy quilting app for smart phones and tablets? Chantal brought this to our attention at December's meeting. I personally have used this app several times and it is very handy and easy to use. Here is a video demonstrating the app's features: Julie from Jaybird Quilts demonstrates the app using an iPhone, but it is also available on Android devises as well. The calculations shown in the video are in imperial measurements, but can also be calculated in metric within the app.
