The days are getting chillier and winter is coming - a perfect time to hunker down in the sewing room and work on projects that you have waiting, planned, or dreamt about.  Many will be gifts for family and friends for the holiday season.   

There will be seasonal sales and bazaars - a chance to gather handmade and repurposed treasures and to support our local groups and artisans.  Several guild members will showcase their talents through these venues and online.  It’s also a good time to support our advertisers as you gather fabric and quilting supplies for your holiday extravaganzas.

There’s lots going on over the next two months.  Extra Sew Days have been added due to the popularity of this gathering.  Be sure to contact Mindy Hewitt to add your name to the list.  The “Quilt Favour” workshops will be held in November and December.  We anticipate 1000 guests at the Quilt Show, so all hands on deck to make these giveaways!  And workshops are in the planning stage to begin in the New Year. 

The Loonie Auction will take place again at December’s meeting with November as the last month for your basket donations.  This popular event raises much needed funds for the Burlington Food Bank and Compassion Society of Halton.  Many thanks to Ermy Akers for the wonderful fabric donations. 
​
So grab a cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate and read through Snippets to learn more information about all these activities..  Also, keep in mind that the editor is always appreciative of member submissions.  Sharpen your pencils and write an article on your favourite quilting adventure, cozy time in your sewing (happy!) place, or day-to-day ramblings. 

Happy Sewing, Katherine
