Show and Tell - January 2025!

Our January General Meeting was on Zoom, not ideal, but winter prevents a lot of members from traveling. We had about 65 of our members in attendance, which is great. The QOTT 2025 Committee reported that plans are well under way, but lots of volunteers will be needed to make the dream work.  They are needed to help hang the quilts on the Wednesday and Thursday, and to help take everything down on Saturday after the Show closes.  It looks like Registration has lots of volunteers, but I'm sure others would not be turned away, especially on Saturday at 5pm, to sort the quilts coming down. And volunteers will be needed during the Show. Consider signing up for a couple of hours or more.  All hands on deck, so to speak.


Our Shop of the Month tonight was Penny Spool Quilts of www.pennyspoolquilts.com, who showed us all kinds of instant download pdfs of blocks and quilt patterns. That's much quicker than waiting for the mail.


Our speaker tonight was Brandy Maslowski, of Quilter on Fire, at www.quilteronfire.com . Lots of information on how to organize your sewing space to suit you, and lots to learn from her.  Check her out on YouTube and she has a Podcast as well.  See you next month, Cathy.


Glenna Churchill - Glenna's quilt is a paper pieced quilt with Kings Crown and Time and Tide blocks. This was a Lisa Norton Design by Material Girlfriends Patterns and pieced and quilted by myself. It was gifted to Glennas grandniece Leah.

Lynne Green - This is the quilt I made for my daughter and son-in-law last year and delivered to them in September.  I only had a photo of a baby quilt to go on so had to work out what size and how many HST’s were needed to make it king size.  My daughter wanted peach and mint colours (which were her wedding colours six years ago) incorporated into the quilt with some different shades of purple from my stash.  The white on white background fabric has a wheat ears pattern on it, which is representative of Saskatchewan where she lives. Jen Swallow of Happy Wife Quilting quilted this with a pattern called Lisa’s Raindrops in a mint coloured thread.

My mother designed and appliqued this 12" x 12" block for a challenge at the Rouge Valley guild when she first joined around 27 years ago. It won first prize! 

She had no idea how to quilt it and it has been a UFO since then. I machine quilted it and added the borders and binding. It now hangs in her room in her long term care home. 

This is the first of the UFOs that I plan to finish this year, finally. Some are my mother's and some are mine.

I made this child’s quilt for a baby shower for my daughter’s neighbour. The family has a calico cat and black dog (the first row), they have blue jays and rabbits in their yard (second row) and their neighbour, my daughter,  has two Goldens (last row).


The block centres are all paper pieced. They wanted a non-gender specific colour scheme.  It was the hit of the baby shower.



Mary Cunningham - This is the Collide-o-scope pattern we worked on at David Sirota’s workshop, “No more tears paper piecing”.
