Guild NI (Newsletter Item), Feb. 2014

Quilt Canada offers opportunities for quilting friends to reunite at Brock University in St. Catharines this June.  But if it’s time for a family reunion, why not combine Niagara Falls and our quilt show? Brock University is offering a ‘bed and breakfast’ option at its new residence. Quilt show first, then meeting up with the family in Niagara Falls OR family vacation in Niagara Falls with a couple of days at Quilt Canada?  Win-win, for everyone!  See all the details at:

Do you think there are any new tools for quilting?  Elizabeth Elliott (http://libselliott.blogspot.ca/ ) thinks there is (HINT:  it’s not what we usually think of as a tool).  A recent Spark episode on CBC Radio featured ‘quilting’ – http://www.cbc.ca/spark/blog/2014/01/26/quilting-with-code/
