This is a reminder that our next meeting will be on Monday, August 19th, 2019!
Hey everyone! August is the month we celebrate the founding of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild. It has been 9 years since we started! Wow! Where has has the time gone! If you would like to bring an extra special anniversary treat for the break I am sure other members will not mind ☺
This month we ask that members who wish to participate bring 10 strips of fabric that measure 2.5″ x the width of various grey SOLID fabrics for our version of “Strip Poker.” This is a very fun activity and a good way to meet other members!Â
***Please be sure the fabrics are solids, for example, Bella Solids, Kona Solids, Free Spirit Solids, Colorworks, etc.
If you are making a QuiltCon Charity Block please note these are due back for the OCTOBER meeting. Time goes by fast so make sure you are working on those!
Please be sure to bring a Modern Show & Tell quilt for us to see! We all inspiration!
