We had show & tell of the fruits of our labours from the 3 demo evenings we have had since the season started - our appliques, our 3D dreidels and bells, and our surface design evening. Really nice work by everyone - and lucky recipients of the gifts made of these projects! Below are some photos of the projects.
Our schedule for 2010 looks like a lot of fun.
We have 2 guest speakers for meetings, we have a workshop with Debby Kemball at the end of January, and more demos of different techniques.
The workshop with Debby is especially exciting because she designed a special pattern for our guild - The Seven Species! If you were not able to get into the Jan 31st workshop, we hope to offer it again in the spring.
On October 6 we had Elaine Quehl come to give a workshop on Surface Design. 14 of us spent a creative day learning to use Shiva paint sticks, waterdolor pencils, how to make our own stencils - it was lots of fun. Pictures of those projects to follow at a later date.
We hope to have Elaine come back to Montreal next fall for a couple of workshops - she is a fabulous and giving teacher, and you should try to take a class with her if you ever get the opportunity.
On behalf of the executive of the guild, I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season. I wish everyone the best of health and contentment for 2010.
