Programme
The generosity of our guild is awesome!!
Thanks to all who donated to Victoria's Quilts
Canada. Please bring in any completed
sewing for VQ and we will see that it gets to
them.
The program for November is all about
Canadian Feed Bags with our speaker Nina
Stahlschmidt. She will explain the history of
these bags and influences they had on peo-
ple's lives for over 100 years in Canada.
Nina's quilts were displayed at Morningstar Mill
(near Brock University) during Quilt Canada
2014. "The cheerfulness and downright
chipperness of the feedbag quilts made by
Nina S. won me over". (Joanna Mack)
We are hoping these quilts and the story of
feed bags will keep you cheerful in a some-
times gloomy November.
* NOTE: if you have any feed sack items,
please bring them to the meeting.
Plans for the future include:
December 21 Guild Social
January 18 Member Showcase- Karen E. and
Leslie D.
We appreciate feedback on speakers, so if you
have suggestions/comments, please give us
an email at [email protected]/ or
[email protected]. If you have heard
of a great speaker, please send us their
contact information as we plan for next year.

Membership Although the cold and dreary November weather may be upon us, it will be warm and cheery at our monthly guild meeting. We hope to see all members out enjoying everything the Guild has to offer. Please remember to place a tick mark next to your name on the attendance list as you come through the doors. This helps us if we need to evacuate the hall in a hurry. Tickets for our quilt raffle are still available and can be purchased from Diane Childerley who has volunteered to help out at the membership table again this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone during our special night out. Cathy Pinelli AQG Membership Chairperson 905 389-3607 [email protected]

Comfort Quilts November
Hello Quilters!
Good news, we have 33 quilts on hand, and several are out there being quilted and bound
at this writing. If you could still aim for the November meeting to bring back your Comfort
Quilt projects that would be ideal. I know the focus of the December meeting will be social,
but we will be available to take quilts and tops and give out kits at the December meeting
to anyone who wants them. After Christmas, when the company has all gone home and it
is cold and dark out you may want a project to work on to keep away the January blahs!
We are here for you!
Thanks to all the generous people who donated fabric (Cherished Pieces, Karen
Romanowski, Heidi Koehn, Gisela Ball) and those who donate their time and talent to
make this program the success it is for our Guild and our community.
Looking forward to seeing you at the November meeting,
Colleen,Teresa, Lynda and Karen
