President's Message: Wow! How did it get to be September already. I hope you all have had a

wonderful summer filled with family, friends and adventures. And maybe

some fun times with your sewing machines as well. I am just finishing up my

Canada Mystery Quilt, a BOM from Shania Sunga Designs for display at the

Chesley Fall Fair next weekend. They have asked for Canada theme quilts

for a Canada 150 display. The binding is almost on, so I think I'll make

it...phew!

I have been so fortunate to have had lots of travel this summer. We spent

3 weeks at our family cottage near Timmins ( wood stove got lots of use but

great family visits), 2 weeks with our kids and grandkids in PEI and Nova

Scotia (almost bumped into Karen Ruetz) and visited Laurie Swims Fibre

Art Studio in Lunenburg and then a few days in Toronto (did bump into Nina

McTeer) at a musical and saw an amazing quilt). More about the quilt.....it

was the Quilt of Belonging with 263 blocks representing 71 Aboriginal

groups and 192 immigrant nationalities found in Canada on display at the

CNE. It is a breathtaking, emotional tapestry measuring 36 metres long by

3.5 metres high. Céleste Compion from Meerkat Trading who did our

program last March has done the block representing the African country of

Namibia. Here is the website: www.quiltofbelonging.ca if you would like to

see it.

I am looking forward to the start of our "new year". It promises to be an

exciting and busy one as we prepare for our Quilt Show in May. This

month's meeting on September 19th will be busy as well. Annual

membership fees are due, the proposed budget needs to be reviewed, and

lots of catching up with friends will happen. The highlight of the meeting

will be Marg Cale's Trunk Show. Marg will be focusing on challenges she has

done in the past and I'm so looking forward to seeing her presentation.

See you on the 19th! President Marion

COMMUNITY OUTREACH REPORT Requests for comfort quilts are to be made to Pat Golem at 519-506-2434 or at golemp@live.ca. Over the summer six comfort quilts have been handed out. Our comfort quilts continue to be in demand, especially if they have a flannel backing. So, in lieu of afternoons of sewing while we are preparing for the boutique – we will have simply sinful kits ready to take home to be sewn together. All help is appreciated. Outreach will not be having work session in the afternoon prior to the September meeting. The I Spy kits with the yellow background supplied need to be returned at the September meeting as well as the sinful kits that were handed out in May. Marilyn will be discussing some tips to use when making the simply sinful quilt pattern. Outreach will be having kits available to make chemo hats and chemo bags to donate to the Owen Sound Hospital. The cancer hat pattern is attached to the back of the newsletter. If you prefer making pillowcases or mission dresses to be distributed, let someone on outreach know so fabric to make these items can be brought to the meeting. This fall, beginning in October, Outreach will be raffling three different kits for making a bow tie comfort quilt. Tickets are $2 each or 4 for $5 so a ticket gives a member three chances to win. Each kit contains extra matching and co-ordinating fabrics. They are as follows: A) 18 eight and a half inch blocks of scrappy bow ties B) 34 nine and a half inch blocks of scrappy bow ties C) 31 nine and a half inch blocks of solid bow ties.
