It was great to get together on October 26th for our second in person guild meeting of this guild season. The meeting was attended by 33 guild members and one guest. Program The meeting featured demonstrations of 5 different types of appliqué to help us learn new techniques, or to brush up on some we may not have used in a while. Unlike other types of workshops we have had in the past, there was no need to bring any supplies. Instead we watched the demonstrations and hopefully learned from them and were inspired to take on an appliqué project. The excellent demonstrations were given by 5 of our talented guild member volunteers who also provided samples of their own stunning appliqué work and answered our many questions. Rennie showed us wool appliqué.   Allison showed us the starch method and wowed us with her light box.   Christine showed us the interface and turn method and her hand appliqué technique.  Joanna showed us raw edge appliqué which we could examine on her various sample pieces.   Brenda showed us the needleturn method which we could examine on her beautiful quilts. Thank you to all of our appliqué instructors for your excellent demonstrations and for sharing your knowledge with us. Your efforts, including the preparation for the evening, were very much appreciated. 2021-2022 BOM Challenge Our last year's 2021-2022 Block of the Month program wrapped up with a display of 6 quilts and voting for our favourite.
