President's Message Katherine Hunter
Interestingly enough, our guild night is a few days after National “Old Stuff' day (March 2nd) – what timing! Wishing Happy Holi to everyone who will celebrate the Festival of Colour on March 3rd. Colour, Love, and Spring is certainly apropos for quilters!
Our demo night in February was a great success. Thanks to all who organized, ran the demos, and participated. What fun … and great take home goodies! We’ll be looking for members to share their talents for next year's demo night. I know you are brimming with talent and ideas that our members would love to learn about.
Information on the President's 50th Anniversary Challenge for the 2027 Quilt Show may be found in Snippets (page 8). Plan to take up the challenge, get together with a group of friends and have fun. Check out the photo on page 3 to see part of a Round Robin (RR) in that I did many moons ago. There are also more pictures of this RR on page 8.
The Halton Quilters Guild will be 50 years old in 2027 (specifically in October) and we are looking for members to form a committee to arrange our Anniversary Celebrations. In addition to the President's 50th Anniversary Challenge, we would like to run a 'block' contest. This is your chance to get creative and design a quilt block that the guild can use to make a 50th anniversary quilt. Please submit your ideas by the May meeting so that we can choose the perfect block. We will create kits for members to assemble the block which we would distribute in September, giving us ample time to assemble the quilt to display at the quilt show.
Our venue for the quilt show is booked and ready to go. Please consider taking a leadership position. Talk to any member of the Quilt Show committee or executive if you would like to volunteer. Watch for news in the special “Quilt Show Corner” columns that will appear in the newsletter.
Tanya Taylor is looking for members to facilitate workshops so please email her or speak to her at the guild meeting. The “Beads” quilt workshop was a lot of fun but, true to form, I assembled mine in the wrong direction! (Editor: I saw it - still beautiful!)
So grab a cup of tea or coffee and read the newsletter. Happy Sewing – Spring IS coming! Katherine
