Winter Retreat

1/30/2017

 
​20 lucky ladies enjoyed this winter's retreat January 12-15 at Providence Point Retreat and Conference Centre near Lanark.

Tips, quilting help and ideas were all freely shared with new and old friends. The 5 "newbies" fit right in and enjoyed the weekend of time to just quilt to their heart's content; some started very early in the morning and others sewed late into the night. Breaks from quilting included fabric shopping, neck and shoulder massages and  everyone loved the delicious food. A happy group of ladies headed home with many projects completed and new friendships made.

Christmas Placemat Delivery

1/17/2017

 
Our talented and generous guild members again provided holiday placemats for the Arnprior and Renfrew Meals on Wheels programs for delivery at Christmas. These placemats have Christmas themed fabric on one side and another fabric on the other so they can be used throughout the year.

Our guild vice president, Chris Gordon (center) is pictured with Mary Bourk, co-ordinator of the social and volunteer programs for the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home program, and Dennis Harrington, executive director, with a selection of the placemats that were presented to them in December.

1/13/2017

​We celebrated the holiday season with our traditional potluck dinner meeting in mid December. As usual the food was delicious with a tempting variety of dishes for both courses. We have some excellent cooks in our guild! Thanks to those with surnames beginning with A-L for providing the yummy food.

The hall was festively decorated for the evening with members' Christmas quilts and other projects. We enjoyed hearing the stories behind these quilts at Show & Tell - you can see photos of these items on the Show and Tell page.

By popular demand, we again played "Strip Poker" with a stunning selection of holiday fabric strips!
