April 2025 Guild Meeting

5/9/2025

 
There was an energizing buzz in the hall on April 23rd when we came together for our first in person meeting of the year after our 3 winter Zoom meetings.

L -> R: Jacquie, Marilyn, Joyce
We had a marvelous trunk show by 3 sisters, Jacquie, Marilyn and Joyce. They showed quilts they had made, and some made by their mother Edna Snyder. All 4 have been members of our guild; Joyce and Marilyn both currently serve in guild leadership positions.
Edna, at age 90, was the Quilter of Distinction at our 2017 Quilt Show.
​Here is one of Edna's treasured and functional quilts that started off the trunk show.

The quilts were stunning and it was interesting to see the different styles and colour preferences of the three sisters.

Below is Marilyn's Black and White Challenge quilt. 
The challenge: Participating guild members signed up at the September 2019 meeting and were placed in groups. They made identical 9 1/2" unfinished blocks with black and white fabric, one for each member of their group. The blocks were then distributed to their group at the December meeting and each participant went home with 10-12 black and white blocks. From these blocks and one or two other colours/fabrics of their choice they made a quilt or other item.

The Snyder family quilt
Jacquie's quilts featured darker, stronger colours and lots of fun and whimsical applique. And they had to fit in her suitcase for her trip from her home in Calgary.

Thank you Jacquie, Joyce and Marilyn for sharing your amazing quilts and their stories with us.

Many of the little preemie quilts made during our March Preemie Challenge were on display and they are gorgeous. Members were invited to show their preemies.
