Call for Executive

Would you like to make some new quilty friends and be part of the team that sets the guild’s direction? There will be a couple of vacancies on the Executive beginning after the AGM in December.

The Executive meet once a month on Zoom for approximately two hours. Meeting agendas include planning upcoming meetings, setting new policies, reviewing financial information and addressing other topics that may arise.

A term on the Executive is one-year, although most people remain in a role for two years, which is the maximum term per role.

November Block Lotto

Appliqué Snowflake

This month’s block is a great lead-up to the Holiday Season and a look back to the days of creating paper snowflakes. The snowflake symbolizes the joy and magic of winter, as well as uniqueness. In nature they are hexagonal due to the way the hydrogen and oxygen molecules attach to one another.

Free appliqué snowflake patterns are available online or you may wish to create your own pattern. The modern snowflake designs tend to be simpler and very easy to appliqué.

So go for it and create your unique snowflake!

Snowflake: solid or low volume white, approx. 8.5 x 8.5"
Block: solid or low-volume blue or grey, approx. 12 x 12"
