First Meeting of 2014-2015

September Meeting!

   Our first meeting was "manned" by Joan Baldwin who did a great job in our Coordinator's Gail Mitchell's absence .  (Poor Gail is touring Ireland and Scotland and attending the Ryder Cup in Scotland with her husband and friends!!)

   Joan held the business section of the meeting before we had Show and Tell.  Following Show and Tell, Joan and Jennifer did the Block of the Month teaching with about 50 members signing up.  Great turnout, great enthusiasm.

   Before the Show and Tell photos, let me publish some of the winners and their quilts from the Fredericton Exhibition.

   Congratulations to our Cottonmill FREX WINNERS!

Ann Coles and her Leaf runner and Multi squared Tote bag...

   Don Coles with his Fons and Porter reproduction, Jelly roll light and dark quilt, sweet fish quilts, and his GRAND PRIZE winning Chenille Octopus quilt!

So cute this winning Octopus!

Bertha Mazerolle and her first prize Hand Quilted Maple Leaf Quilt!

   Darlene Dewar with her many entries....including her Reproduction placemats, sewing machine under pad and gadget holder, Nativity scene wallhanging, Animal hanky quilt, and very colourful Stars and Squares quilt.

    In the summer, Gail Mitchell haled a "Guinea Pig" class of women who wanted to make a wallet.  It is a beautiful functional wallet that I hope to make someday as well.  Have  look as some of the perfection wallets that these ladies turned out and the beautiful fabrics used!  Great Job Ladies.
