Well, today saw a group of approximately 35 quilters get together for a wonderful day of quilting, sewing, learning, comaraderie, and snacking :-)
Today was International Quilting Day and Loose Threads Quilt Guild did a great job of hosting this event for another successful year. The 2 co-chairs, Randi and Vikki, did a great job of lining up a guest speaker and putting together great loot bags for each of the participants, and 6 lucky people won a raffle basket!! Also, everyone brought non-perishable food items for donation to MADA.
The guest speaker was Wendy Foster, a quilter from Ottawa. Wendy gave a talk about different threads for our sewing machines and how to counteract some of the challenges we face using specialty threads. She then showed a great trunk show of such varied techniques in her quilting and sewing repertoire. As well, Wendy sells threads and had a veritable rainbow of colors to choose from in the various types of threads she sells.
It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all of us in attendance.
