September 2023 Guild meeting!

 Well better late than never they say!  

Thanks for your patience as life gets in the way of doing all the things!

Its been a beautiful September -I hope you all have gotten outside  -soon enough we'll be at our machines listening to the howling winter wind!

Our September meeting was held at the Keswick Ridge Community hall as usual! We had a great turn out and it was a beautiful night! 

Our guild meeting was Heather C's (with help from others) coverage of the Quilt Show in Halifax this summer.  The quilts were gorgeous!  Thanks Heather for your work in getting this set up for us!

After the presentation and usual business, we got right into show and tell! 

Here we have Heather with her gnomes!

and more project bags!  they are so great! we think we should have an upcoming workshop on how to do this!

Debby with a sweet quilt - isn't the back precious too!

Ruth showed some gorgeous brooches! 

Betty is always busy! This is a gorgeous one - the photo just doesn't do it justice! 

Sometimes my photos of the backs are........well lets just say 'terrible!' i'll get better!  Betty quilted it herself I do believe!

A gorgeous lonestar!  So Bright! I love that Betty's work has all ranges of colors!

And some wall hangings - didnt I say she was a busy one!

We've got some lucky recipients of these stockings!

And her first quilt! She did a great job! I love this layout - not something you see all the time!

Susan J quilt is scrappy-lious dont you think??!  

And the back shows the quilting - I think it was Cherie that quilted it (I could be wrong!)

Another one by Susan - love the fall colors!

Jody made these arm bands - I can see using these in so many different ways! Very inventive! 

Kathy H had these dishes of her moms and struggled to decide what to do with them....she is always inventive - and voila! Beautiful buttons!  One of a kind! 

Thanks Kathy for the supporting photo - I love these!

Toni has been busy stuffing pet beds! what a great way to recycle old clothing!

Finally this is my quilt - it's called Dear Son - by RebeccaMaedesigns.  I love this controlled scrappy look.  I made another of hers that I love as well.  Since I did not have any boy children, this I renamed to be Dear Grandson - he will get this when he gets a bit older - his stash of quilts is quite large ;) 

Thanks for listening! Please feel free to add your comments! (you never know when we might have a prize for doing so :)) !

Until next time!!!
