October Guild Meeting Recap & Welcome to the New Website!

10/14/2013

0 Comments

 
Welcome to the new London Modern Quilt Guild Canada website with our very own official domain name "www.londonmodernquiltguildcanada.com"! The website is still a work in progress so please bear with us and keep checking back for updates. Our home page is now set up in a blog format with the hope to keep all guild members and visitors updated on all of our news, events etc.

Our October meeting was held this past Saturday.  Not all members were in attendance due to the Thanksgiving holiday, however there was a great turn out!  Official meeting minutes will be sent to all LMQGC members in the upcoming weeks.  In the meantime, here is a quick recap of the meeting.

Tip of the Month

Chantal was kind enough to give us all a demonstration on different types of needles and threads.  We all have a new mantra: "New Project, New Needle".  You can find a quick reference guide on the Schmetz Needles website.  Click on the image below for a shortcut to the site.

Logo Challenge

Now that we have our very own website domain, perhaps we should have our very own logo?  All members are welcome create a simple & colourful logo that  represents our Guild.  This can be hand drawn or created digitally and should fall under the modern umbrella.  Have a look at other Modern Guild Websites for some inspiration.  Many guilds have logos that representative of their geographical area.  LMQGC Members can present their option at November's meeting. 

Show & Share

Chantal's work in progress, "Diamond's In the Sky" Tula Pink quilt top. A hand pieced project. Looking forward to seeing the progress of this project at upcoming meetings!

The front of Sonia's beautiful & colourful quilt with appliqued scraps. The quilting is a linear meandering pattern using a walking foot.
Picture
The back of Sonia's quilt is flannel with pieced squares. Can you also spot the accent in the binding? Such a fantastic detail!
Picture
Another beautiful quilt made by Sonia (her picture) is Shot cotton and a wool batting make a very soft quilt.

A great tip and worked shared by Mary. Take an old mirror frame, remove mirror. Add fishing line at equal intervals within the frame. Add eye hooks to the back of small quilted pieces to display and hang off of the fishing line. So clever. Great small art quilts with a common bird theme and detail.
