 Inclement Weather!!

It has always been our policy that if McMaster University and/or Mohawk College are closed, then our meeting for the Guild is cancelled. Weather can be different in the various areas of our members. As you did for previous  meetings, please use your judgement and exercise care with regards to your own personal safety.

President's Message 

Good Day to all,

It will probably come as no surprise to most of you that due to the ongoing Covid 19 crisis, plus local, provincial, and federal directives our regularly scheduled April meeting and our UFO  day must regretfully be cancelled. We want our members to be safe and to be able to safeguard the health of those near and dear to us.

We continue to monitor developments during these uncertain times, and hope for positive news in the near future however we must be prepared for all possibilities, including the possibility that we will be unable to meet again until June or even September, but we will be sure to keep everyone informed through the newsletter and our website.

In conversations with various creative folks in my circle of friends, I have frequently said that although the news is troubling and at times downright scary, this time of physical distancing can and should be a cloud with a silver lining...never in MY wildest dreams did an uninterrupted time such as this come along for some quality sewing time!

To this end Sue Lusted has sent some block patterns for you to work on, and you might even use up some stash in the process!  So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make into a President’s Challenge. This will be a win, win – you have blocks to make, and time to spend, and our Outreach ladies a pile of quilts/kits to make.

So work on blocks as you have time, and when we next meet bring your blocks, and for each completed block you will receive a ballot for a draw! All blocks will be donated to our very own Outreach ladies.

As some of you are aware, we have a guild Facebook page, but we also know that some of you do not “do” Facebook....so we now have an Instagram account and currently we are doing a “virtual” Show and Share. As well, we are sending out our Virtual Show and Share via email. If you have a finished project you’d like to share with the guild please send it to our guild email and we will get it up there for all to see. We hope this will keep everybody motivated being able to see what our members can do. It’s also a great way for others to see what our guild can do!

Until we meet again, stay safe, and keep quilting!
