September 2011 Guild Meeting

Tropical storms, flooding, earthquakes and tornados did not stop Q.U.I.L.T.S. from their first meeting of the new guild year at their new meeting location, the First Reformed Church of Scotia.   Along the lines of this year’s theme “Traditional Quilting,”  Barbara Arnold, NQA Teacher of the Year, presented a trunk show of antique quilts which she’s collected over the years, along with quilts she recreated based on some of these treasures.    Barbara also stayed on to teach classes in Sashiko and Seven Sisters.

2011 Summer Cooler Sit N’ Sew

Our second annual Summer Cooler Sit N’ Sew was held on a beautiful Saturday in July at our new meeting location, The First Reformed Church of Scotia.  Approximately 20 members attended and were delighted with our new meeting space.  In addition to a spacious, well-light room, those in attendance were treated to a magnificent view of the beautiful gardens of the church grounds overlooking Collins Lake.  The quilters had a very productive day, stitching, sharing and chatting with fellow quilters.

June 2011 Guild Meeting

Q.U.I.L.T.S. members celebrated the end of another successful guild year with their annual pot-luck dinner.  In addition to excellent food, members were treated to a display of the year long Mystery and Challenge Quilts (Outside the Box, Green and Alzheimer’s Quilt Project).   Members had the opportunity to vote on their favorites and it was close.  All the quilts were stunning.  What a talented group!
