THE BATTLEFORDS — Our Oct. meeting was held on Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. with 25 ladies in attendance. In September, Hilda showed us how to do half-square triangles the easy way. Some of the ladies donated their squares to make a comfort quilt.
October and November are going to be busy months with a three-yard quilt class headed up by Shirley and a log cabin day with Irene G. on another day. November brings us a placemat and comfort quilt day. A retreat was planned with Heather teaching us how to make a crumb quilt. There's also a block of the month being started as well, see Irene G. if you're interested in the pattern. This is an interesting way to make up a quilt and showcase the various blocks. Lots of variations and so many beautiful and colourful quilts at the classes. I'm sure there will be a few to show and share at the November meeting.
We have many comfort quilts, pillowcases, placemats made up and more to come. These will be distributed in the coming weeks up until Christmas time.
Also keep in mind our quilt guild's show coming up in January, more details to follow. Our Christmas luncheon is scheduled for Dec. 6 at noon with Warren's Catering supplying the meal. Kathy needs to know the numbers and payment by Nov. 26.
There were lots of beautiful and creative quilts, etc at our show and shared following our meeting along with coffee, tea, goodies and visiting.
Our next meeting is on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. at the Don Ross Craft Room. All are welcome to come check it out, hope to see you there.
"I will not buy any more fabric until I use up the stash I have at home,” I said. And then I laughed and laughed!
