The Rivers' Edge Quilters Dec. 6 met at the Don Ross Centre with 18 members attending.
Guild members have been busy with quilt shows. A small group went to Unity to Ilene's Quilting Plus Shop. There were presentations by Dorothy Thompson of Saskatoon showing traditional and modern quilts. The other presenter was Alice Swan, a fibre artist from Vermilion, Alta. who showed and explained her wall hangings.
Sandy Cook, from Saskatoon, came Oct. 19 to teach us how to do a pattern called hidden wells.
Six members went to a quilting retreat from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1. They reported they had a wonderful time and the food was excellent.
Many quilters have been hard at work making comfort quilts and walker bags. Most of these will go to the Empty Stocking Fund. Mittens and scarves have been donated as well.
The highlight of the season has been our quilt show at the Chapel Gallery from Nov. 6 to Dec. 15. Leah Garvin and her staff had our projects displayed beautifully. We are so impressed with their efforts. They also did a terrific job promoting and covering our show. Nov. 15, Arlyce Thompson of Moose Jaw came and did a trunk show at the opening reception at the gallery.
