BBQG
Boutique
The BBQG Boutique table is available
for guild members (singly or sharing with friends) to
sell fabrics and/or any items related to quilting and
sewing at guild meetings. Table rental is $10 for
members, $25 for businesses.
As a Guild, this year we have made over 50 quilts
to give to various organizations that have expressed a
need, and kits are still available at the Library area
at the next meeting. Kits are not a requirement – make
your own, no bigger than 42” x 42” and bring to any
meeting.
Charity
Quilts:
Our guild is proudly supporting the
Rotary Women’s Club by creating charity baby quilts. The
member created quilts form part of a baby bundle which
is provided to babies in need around the lower mainland.
We will be having a baby quilt challenge as well as kits
for members to sew and bring back.
Note:
All Guild workshops are held in the Sacred
Heart Clubhouse, just down the driveway from
the gym where we have our regular meetings.
Workshops usually begin at
10 am and end at about
4 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

will have it’s first regular meeting on Sept 20th.
Anyone wishing to explore mixed media in a journal quilt
format is invited to join. We are asking for a one year
commitment from potential members, as well as a
willingness to explore quilting “outside the box”. For

at
patnelson@dccnet.com
or (604) 594 4517.
Finally Finished Fun(d)
Are you working on a quilt or
planning to make a quilt that must be completed before
our June meeting? This could be your chance to win some
fabric shopping money for next summer!
For every quilt that is
completed and registered, and been shown at “Show and
Tell” you pay $2 ($1 for a baby quilt) into the kitty.
The prize money will be
divided into $100 increments and the winners picked at
the June meeting. One of the north shore Guilds had over
$300 in the pot for prizes. This will be fun. We’ll have
great show and tell as we finish as many quilts as we
can to get them into the draw.
Registration forms will be
available in September. Please note that this is
optional and open to guild members only.
