What Did You Do On Your Summer Vacation?

Six members of the Guild designed and taught an Introduction to Quilting Class at the Aurora Public Library. The four-week class wrapped up in August. Eight students, using the library’s makers lab sewing machines, learned quilting fundamentals including fabric cutting, block construction, and basic machine quilting while creating two strip pieced placemats. The class was a huge success and the waiting list to join was upwards of 30 folks. (Organized by our Membership Drive Committee)
MINI RETREAT They came, they sewed, they ate (very well) and then they sewed some more. 22 members gathered in Jackson’s Point for a one full day mini retreat. Door prizes and a great new location made the day even more memorable. (Organized by our Quilters Corner Team) |
24 members got together to sew, socialize and swap stories during our summer in-person Sew Social. If you have never joined us at one, think about the upcoming ones this fall. This is a great way to get to know other new members and gather ideas and suggestions on your quilting projects. (Organized by our Sew Social Team.) |
Let’s Go to the Ex – RYQG is a well represented at the first revival of the CNE Quilt Show. Led by Maria Van, the RYQG has three quilts, three mannequins and a collection of vintage sewing machines on display at the Withrow Gallery. RYQG members will be leading demonstrations on September 6th and 8th, using the vintage machines. We will be creating large mug-rugs to hand out to any who stop by. |
