BBQG Fun and NEW:
Quilting Outside the Box
The new art quilt group, tentatively name “The Mixed Maniacs”
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
more info, please contact our Vice President, Pat Nelson
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.
