Newsletter for Crescent Quilters White Rock and South Surrey British Columbia

Let's get together for a couple of sewing days. Annette S. has reserved the clubhouse at her complex on March 7th and April 11th.

March 7th will be a day to sew shirt protectors for Brella. This will be collaborative and fun. We did this and produced a big pile of them in one day. There will be no charge to attend. There will be a sign up sheet at the next Crescent Quilters' meeting. If you cannot attend the next meeting but would like to attend, please let Gloria know by email. Gloria.Friesen123@gmail.com There is room for 10-12 people. The address and times will be given at the next meeting.

April 11th will be a workshop put on by Gloria. It is called "Scrap Happy" We are going to talk about using scraps, see some demos, and have a chance to do some sewing. We will talk about sorting and grouping fabric together, and get some great ideas for making scrappy quilts. Each participant should bring a bunch of scraps and their sewing machine. There will be a sign up sheet at the next Crescent Quilters meeting. This workshop will be $15 to attend. Gloria will be collecting money at the February and March Crescent Quilters' meetings. There is room for 10-12 people to attend. The address, times and further details will be giving at the next meeting.

What to expect

The January Planning group will be presenting a Challenge, with a short demonstration. They will distribute an instruction sheet. Members will be challenged to participate and to have their name put into a draw each time they complete the challenge. The draw for the prize will take place at the May CQ Meeting.

We will then play a game of ‘The Right-Left-Centre Swap’ game. Everyone will need to bring at least 3 (THREE) Fat-Quarters with a ‘Spring’ theme, e.g. florals, light colours, pink, yellow, soft shades of blue, purple, green, red, etc.
