Our busy March meeting


Stacie Wilson, the President of the Victoria MQG visited us and extended an invitation to attend their Necessary Clutch workshop with Jill Spyker: TWO sessions on Saturday, March 18. #1 9am-12pm and #2 1pm-4pm $35 including pattern. If you would like to take this workshop check on their website http://www.mqgvictoria.com/p/workshops.html for the sign-up details.

We had an update on the "Spring" postcard challenge and you're reminded to mail your postcard by March 18 so recipients can bring them to the April meeting.

Carly demonstrated a few ways to quilt-as-you-go.  Carly uses diaper flannel as the backing for her quilt-as-you-go and then it doesn't require batting.



The challenge exercise was to take a magazine page that appealed to us and then to express it as a modern rendition.


 

Joy demoed templates that help with fussy cutting and square in square construction.  This demo was done with "smooshing" being involved.


Some of the results from the weekend Krista Hennebury workshops were shared.  Spectacular and inspiring,



Reminder that our next sew-in is on Saturday, March 25 at the Hammond Bay branch of the Library.  Sign up by contacting nanaimomqg@gmail.com

Our show and shares.  Awesome projects!
