Spring is here! Looking forward to May at The Country Quilter and the Garden Quilt Show in June.
In May there will be the usual classes:
Finishing School each Tuesday.
Knotty Girls May 10.
Landscape May 17.
Quilt as You Go table runner May 28.
We had our last Smile Quilt workshop for this spring. So far 36 quilts have been made for the Childrens’ Aid Society. Lots of supplies went home to be worked on over the summer. Thank you, quilters!
***The store will be closed Sat May 18 for the May long weekend.***
We are looking forward to June and the Garden Quilt Show, June 15, 9:30 – 2:30.
The show will feature large quilts in St Paul’s United Church and smaller pieces hung in the garden at the shop.
The Landscape class will have a display of their work as the Artists in Residence.
There will be quilted crafts and other items for sale for CANHAVE, as well as the beautiful quilt designed and made for CANHAVE in memory of Grace by her sister Wilma Whiting.
Other attractions will be JC Scissor and Knife Sharpening, a local woodcarver, a used book sale and lunch at St Paul’s United Church.
There will also be limited space for quilts for sale. If you would like to sell a quilt, make a label with the dimensions of the quilt, the price and your name and email. A 15% commission will be taken, so price accordingly. These quilts must be at the shop by June 8.
Quilts for display should be dropped off June 11, 12 &14. We may not have room for quilts after those days. Please think about signing up to help with the show. Sign up sheets are in the shop now! Call the shop at 613 838-5541 or email Ann at thecountryquilter@hotmail.com for more information!
