April 23 Guild Meeting
There was an energizing buzz in the hall on April 23 when we came together for our first in person meeting of the year after our 3 winter Zoom meetings.
We had a marvelous trunk show by 3 sisters, Joyce, Marilyn and Jacquie. They showed quilts they had made, and some made by their mother Edna. All 4 have been members of our guild; Joyce and Marilyn both currently serve in guild leadership positions. 
Marilyn and Joyce
Many of the little preemie quilts made during our March Preemie Challenge were on display and they are gorgeous.
March 26 Guild Meeting
Our March 26th guild meeting was a fun sew night where we were all making a preemie quilt (or quilts) in the comfort of our own sewing spaces, connected via Zoom. These small 24"x24" quilts will be donated to the Ottawa Hospital for distribution to the little patients in their neonatal Special Care Nursery.
Refer to our March newsletter for links to the instructions for making preemie quilts, and some preemie quilt photos. March Block of the Month - Coin Block February Guild Meeting

Our guest speaker was Bonnie Rankin, a CQA/ACC Certified Quilt Judge, and the National Juried Show Coordinator for this year's Quilt Canada in Toronto in June 2025. In her presentation Bonnie showed and discussed the winners of the 2024 National Juried Show, outlining what judges are seeing at all levels of quilt shows. She also pointed out the most common problems quilters encounter, and provided some tips on how to prevent them. A great presentation!
