Around the Net (entry 75)

Hi Everyone, I’m madly working on Zach’s machine quilting so hopefully come Friday I’ll be able to get some close-up pics of my quilting for you all to see…can’t wait to give it back to them lol.

Today I want to share a site; All People Quilt that was quite inspiring to me and gave me some insight to dressing a bed, coordinating the colours with the room, so many helpful tips and tricks. It is just inspiring, enjoy!!

Do you have a favourite room in your house that you love the way you’ve decorated it? If so, send me (valerie@pastimesonline.ca) a pic as I would love to see your works of decorating and beauty with your quilting personality.

Here’s a picture to entice you further, trust me you will get lost in this gallery it’s unbelievable, enjoy.

Around the Net (entry 68)

Hi Ladies, today for my Around the Net entry, I came across this site called Modern Quilt Guild through one of my favourite blogs Jackie’s Stitches – thanks Jackie. This new book is all about starting and promoting quilting in YOUR community. How to start a quilt guild and how other chapters collaborate ideas, thoughts, boards, meetings and so on. It’s an excellent resource and what a GREAT idea!!

The Modern Quilt Guild

Do you belong to a guild? If so, what it’s called and what do you LOVE about it! I belong to 2 guilds, Flying Needles I’ve been with these ladies for about 7 years and Lakeside Quilters I’ve been a guild sister for 5+ years. I LOVE being part of both of these groups. It give me a sense of community, these women have like minded ideas and goals. We’ve all come together to learn something we are passionate about and love each other’s company. If you aren’t in a guild, join one or start one:)

Here’s the branch for Houston based on this book. I’ve come across so many guild listings in Alberta that I’m trying to keep track of. If you know a new Guild in Alberta, please pass it onto me🙂

Until next time, have a happy and creative day!
