April Meeting

Our April meeting will be at Woodcreek Community Association (1991 Woodview Dr SW, Calgary) 7-9pm on Thursday April 18th 2019

This month we're going to be looking at techniques to quilt on your domestic machine. We tried to plan this programming last year but we just didn't have enough room - now we have plenty of room to spread out.  Several members will be participating in demonstrating techniques on domestic sewing machines.

Don't forget we're alternating North and South locations so next month we're in Hawkwood. For these locations we need to bring indoor shoes or slippers so we don't have to mop up after ourselves. We also have to set up / tear down at these locations so if you're available to show up early or stay late to help out that would be appreciated.

Because of how this location is booked we also have some BONUS hours in the space, so if you show up any time after 4pm you can have several hours of sewing and sew-cialization time!

This month is our AGM and we'll also be hearing reports from people who attended QuiltCon in Nashville in February. We're looking to fill a few spots on our executive so if you have any interest let us know before the AGM. We'll also be collecting and voting on the CQA Ultraviolet Challenge mini quilts - "Quilting Gone Viral".

There will also be a Sew Day on Saturday March 23rd 2019 at Hawkwood starting at noon and going until you drop (or 8pm at the latest) - the theme is "Finishing your UFO's".  A UFO in quilting terms in an UnFinished Object, so bring anything you have unfinished that you want to get done.
