Our first meeting of the new year.

Well, can you believe our first meeting of the year is about to happen? We had an excellent 2015 and now with some new initiatives starting here in 2016, I am sure we will have another great year. 

As usual we will be meeting at Wonderfil's Threaducation Centre,  Bay 4, 2915 19th St. NE  Calgary, AB, Canada  T2E 7A2 on January 21, 2016 from  7pm to 9pm.

Januaury's meeting will have a presentation on:

• Wonderfil's Threads by Bernadette Kent
• A Tool / Notions Library - Becca Cleaver Burke
• 2016 Block Lotto challenge by Phillipa Gelinas. You can get yourself a bit more familiar with this here under our Swaps and Challenges page.
• A quick officers update
• and Finally Show and Tell

Please feel free to bring:

• a modern quilt to share for Show and Tell
• your name tag

Just a reminder about a few new things we are doing this year in regards to our membership. Your first meeting is free, the second meeting you attend you can join for $50 and enjoy all of our member benefits as laid out on our Membership page. Alternatively, you can pay $5 a meeting, but if you do it this way you cannot be a member of the national Modern Quilt Guild and all it's benefits.
