Welcome to The Fabric Curator as our newest online quilting business to advertise on our website.

The Fabric Curator is an online Canadian fabric store, specializing in modern, high quality fabrics. The Fabric Curator is owned by Penelope Hopewell who is also the Curator-In-Chief. (Isn't that a great title?) The Fabric Curator is located in Toronto, Ontario. 

A curator is someone who shares their selection of objects with others. The Fabric Curator was born from Penelope's   love of fabrics and desire to help others create. Follow her on Instagram (the_fabric_curator), Facebook (The Fabric Curator) and sign up on the website with your email address to stay in the loop regarding new collections, information and, more importantly, sales!

The Fabric Curator offers free shipping to Canadian orders over $75.  I wonder if Penelope delivers the orders in Toronto on her cute scooter?  The basket on the back is a great addition!

Saturday December 14th is our
Annual Pot Luck Holiday Meeting
​10AM-5PM (note earlier than usual start time)

A 4" hoop will be needed as well, so please bring your own.

Here are some photos of our members listening intently when Libs was explaining the technique.

Here are some photos when the pieces and hexagons were coming together!

And here we are at the end of class with what we have accomplished- can't wait to see some finished quilts at the next meeting's show and share.

Thanks so much Libs for another fantastic workshop!  You are inspiring!

It's crazy to think that only one week ago today excitement was building and our members were busy at work about to set up for our first guild quilt show!  

Here are photos of the quilts that hung inside.  The beauty of the heritage home made our quilts feel like they were on display in a museum.  So many quilt show guests commented on the home, the grounds as well as our quilts.

We hope everyone enjoyed attending our quilt show, and we thank you for supporting our guild!

It was our very first quilt show this past weekend- thank you to everyone that attended and we hope you enjoyed the show! 

Here are the photos of our Challenge.  Members were given 1/2 yard black and 1/2 yard white and one 1/4 yard of a colour and they had to make a 20" mini quilt.  These quilts were displayed around the porch of Grosvenor Lodge making a very colourful display!

We hope you can join us at our first guild quilt show on September 7th and 8th!  
​Here is a map for parking, you can enter from both Platts Lane and Western Road. There is parking all around Grosvenor Lodge as well as the parking lot beside the Lodge (accessible from both entrances)

We will have our Black and White Plus One Challenge Quilts (thank you Northcott Fabrics) on display around the porch and our guild member quilts will be on display inside.  

We have Stashe Fabrics and Notions, The Quilt Kitchen, Cotton Harvest Quilt Shop and Fabric Please as vendors.

And if you have a chance, here is a link to a newspaper story about our guild and upcoming quilt show.  (thanks to The Londoner)

At our August Meeting we will be having a Fabric Collage Workshop.  Please bring  a small selection of fabric and fusible.

At our September Meeting we will feature demos of tips and tricks as well as demonstrating favourite notions. Also in September we are having a GARAGE SALE.  Please bring along any surplus fabric you have at home, priced. We will have our sale at the end of our meeting and the proceeds will go to our Limberlost program.

Fall Quilt Show.  We still need Volunteers to help with the various tasks for our Quilt Show at Grosvenor Lodge.  Please sign up online or at our next meeting.  There are lots of different jobs!

Charity Quilt for QuiltCon.  Squares are available for pickup and will be done in pairs (one to sew and one to embroider). All instructions provided. Completed squares are due in September.  

We concluded our meeting with a circuit of Border workshops by Linda M, Shirley C and Kristyn M. Each station demonstrated different styles and aspects of borders including mitred corners, measuring, resizing and including a flange. Great instruction.

As usual, we had a stellar demonstration of our quilter's talents.
