February 6, 2020 Meeting Highlights

It was a very crisp day in Dauphin, but that didn’t stop this hearty group of Crocus Quilters from gathering for a day a stitching and visiting. The day started out early at the Firehall where a dozen ladies stopped in during the monthly sewing day.

The show and tell was FABULOUS!

Four Morsbags.org by Karen will be added to our pod total

 Jackie showed us a few masterpieces. 

 Karen was a very busy ...

 You can't see her but this is Brenda hiding behind this sweet baby quilt.

and then Reneta carried in her three big bags!  

 love the creativity and patience this girl has --- where does she find her energy?

 this is definitely a statement piece! 

 yes, there is more from Reneta!  

 Amy has a heart of gold, this Slab Block quilt is headed for Quilts of Valour. 

 and Dawn finished up the show with an art quilt she has made for a Fibre Arts Network exhibit. 

We completed the evening with a short demo by Karen P. 

Thirty of these blocks will make a very nice quilt as demonstrated below. 

We have a Quilt til you wilt day booked for Feb 22/23. 

Our next meeting is March 5. 

January 9, 2020 First meeting and party in the new year.

Happy New Year!!

For the last couple of years our guild has had a Christmas Gathering in January, 

so here are a few highlights from that evening.  We had a very brief general meeting, some show and tell, then enjoyed a fat quarter exchange and for 

those that wanted to take part a pincushion exchange, and of course we can't forget the wonderful assortment of treats and punch to enjoy.

Most often we post pictures of completed projects, but today there are a
few work in progress shows.
Beth worked on these during the day (picture below) at our monthly sew day, and wanted to show us because once they are done, she will sending them off to her family. 

Dawn showed us this gem she was working on, to demonstrate how a colorful panel
can be used to create something else wonderful.

Donna pieced this great design but was asking advice on how to quilt it.

Back to the other wonderful finished show & tells.

Shalane was asked to fix this vintage hand stitched quilt. 
She will fix one block that the fabric was tattered in and replace
the entire binding, for it was worn off.

Fat Quarter Exchange, snacks and the cute pincushion I received.
