Thank you to Sandy Lindal of https://www.instagram.com/scrappygalquilts/ for leading us in a fun workshop on making improv scrappy log cabin blocks on a flannel foundation. Here are some of the blocks made by participants in this workshop. What a great way to use up our stash of scrappy strips.

SNEAK PEEK OF THE WEEK

We are less than 2 weeks away from our biennial quilt show. This week’s sneak peek features the work of quilter and fibre artist Marth S.

Her quilt “My Blue Snowflake” was machine appliqued and her inspiration came from Laura Pilands' quilt called "Flurry".

This quilt, along with many, many more, will be at the “Quilted Treasures” Quilt Show 2025 at the Newmarket Community Centre & Lions Hall, 200 Doug Duncan Drive, Newmarket ON on April 26 and 27.

We hope to see you there!

SNEAK PEEK OF THE WEEK

Be sure to mark your calendars for the Region of York Quilters Guild, Quilted Treasures quilt show! April 26 and 27! Sue Sherman, National and International Award-Winning Quilt Artist will have a mini exhibition of her creations! We are very proud to have Sue as a member of the Region of York Quilters Guild! Sue is an active member even serving as President in the past. Learn more about Sue Sherman and her work on her website: https://sueshermanquilts.com/

Here's a message from Sue:

My fabric creations connect me to the spectacular places and wildlife I have seen in my travels. I aim to give the animal kingdom a voice, by transforming white cotton into lifelike images through many hours of precise painting with dyes and thread. I am passionate about protecting earth’s creatures along with their habitats and hope my work will inspire you to share my sense of urgency around this message.

My quilts have won awards at national and international quilt events including the (Canadian) National Juried Show, the American Quilters Association (Paducah, Charleston), the International Quilt Festival (Houston) and the Festival of Quilts (Birmingham). I am also a Juried Artist Member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA).
