This month the programming will include member Kerry Foster with her new publication on Paint-By-Number Quilts You can find it for sale on CT Publishing, Amazon, Fat Quarter Shop, and Google Books or ask for it at your local shop. You may have already seen Kerry's original and very identifiable quilts at Heritage Park and Stampede in the last couple of years, as well as our guild meetings. She'll be teaching a class for us in November so make sure you pick up her book before then! You can also score her separate add on pattern packs here (the add-ons require original publication for instructions).
Don't forget to bring your Colour Wheel Challenge entry and have the chance to win a fabulous prize.
The Charity Table has been retired until next Spring. And don't forget to bring full payment for the Poppyprint Workshops if you haven't already. Any e-transfers should use the password "pinwheel".
It turns out that since most of the piecing is already complete on the QuiltCon 2019 Charity Quilt, we don't need to have a Sew Day to put together the quilt top. Even so all kits MUST be back and completed by this meeting. If you have a kit and you aren't going to be able to complete it in time please get it back to us ASAP.
Finally, memberships are opening for the 2019 year. Annual dues are $60 and if you sign up on or before Wednesday Dec 12th then you'll be entered into a draw for a fabulous prize pack at the December meeting! Payments may be made in cash or by e-transfer. Any e-transfers should use the password "pinwheel".
