Virtual Meeting - November 15, 2021

 I'm hearing Christmas music on the radio and there are Christmas movies on the TV. I don't know about you, but I am not ready! 

Meanwhile, in our Show and Tell, sanity is still prevailing, and you are saving your Christmas Show and Tell for December!


Anita is busy making things. This quilt is for her grandson. The back is green which is Anita's favourite colour, and her grandson's, too.


Anita's second quilt is for her second granddaughter, who is in preschool. There is a matching lunchbox for when she gets to kindergarten. Anita's husband Jacob quilted both these quilt. 


Barb Karim has made us a "Murder of Crows".


Barb Sharp-Bond tells us that this quilt is a mystery quilt from the Kanata Guild.


She made this quilt for Victoria's Quilts.


Johanne Stirling is a member of a gaming guild called "Gilded" . The head of the guild is a coffee fanatic, and was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Johanne made her this quilt.


Johanne called the quilt "Gilded Coffee Stars", and on the back she put the word for coffee in Morse Code in the languages of all the languages of the guild members around the world.


Johanne also drew a coffee stain on the label!



Many of you will remember Lois MacKinnon, who was a member of Poole Creek for a number of years. Lois made this lovely quilt to give to the new Veteran's House..


Lois quilted it by hand.


As my small contribution to this project, I made the binding and sewed it on. 


Our next Show and Tell will be our annual Christmas Show and Tell. The date is December 6, which, appropriately is St. Nicholas Day. I know there are lots of Christmas quilts, wall hangings and table runners. Take some pictures and share your Christmas with the rest of the group.

Love the Snails Trail by Anita. Just "discovered" this block a couple of quilts ago, and am now on my 2nd quilt using all Snails Trail block surrounding a panel.
Love the coffee quilt. Very clever, and you can never have too much coffee.
Love the quilt for Vet's home...the colours of fabrics, and the style of quilting look great.
