Last call!

The Halton Hills Quilt Guild is celebrating their 20th Anniversary and we are CELEBRATING in a BIG WAY.

We have planned a buffet dinner and two AMAZING speakers. Jeanne Large and Shelley Wicks. Don't know them? Well they are the authors of TWO books............

The first book called 'Tis the Season, Quilts and Other Comforts was released in July 2010. It was a smash hit and has gone into several reprintings................

'Tis the Season, Quilts and Other Comforts

Barely a year later, they had their second book out  - Urban Country Quilts...........

Urban Country Quilts
Published in November, 2011

Their third book will be published sometime next year and from what I hear - it is going to be AMAZING!!!!



They are fabric designers as well...............

Shasta Fabric Line    (note - many of those fabrics are SOLD OUT)


I think their SECOND fabric line is already well along in the production process.


I am anxiously awaiting the new book and the fabric. They both sound AWESOME.


Jeanne and Shelley also own a quilt shop!   The Quilt Patch in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.


They are TWO VERY BUSY LADIES!!!!     And we were lucky enough to snag them as the GUEST SPEAKERS at our anniversary dinner. There are a FEW tickets left. If you are interested in attending the dinner, let me know and I will reserve a ticket(s) for you. But HURRY - the tickets won't last long and you will be sorry you missed this awesome event.

In addition to a wonderful dinner and our speakers, there are some FABULOUS door prizes. And I'm not just talking one or two - there are a LOT of door prizes. And FABULOUS SWAG BAGS for everyone.


This is going to be the quilting event of the year - the one you do NOT want to miss.


The Date: Monday, October 15
The Time: Doors open at 6:00 PM - dinner at 6:30 PM
The Cost: $45
The Location: Fuzion Banquet Hall (Dixie and Britannia area in Mississauga)


How to get a ticket?????    E-mail me or make a comment on this blog and I will get back to you.



Want to spend even more time with these inspiring ladies????   We are hosting a workshop on Tuesday following the dinner. There are a couple of spots left. The project is the quilt on the cover of the "Tis the Season" book. It is called High Strung. A GORGEOUS quilt. The focus of the class will be the applique strip -

High Strung

It is going to be ONE FUN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    


The Date: Tuesday, October 16
The Time: 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
The Cost: $45 (includes lunch)
The Location: Hillcrest United Church (Trafalgar and 5 Side Road)



If you cannot attend either of these events - then you MUST stop by their booth at the CreativFestival. They have some of the most AMAZING kits and their fabric choices are to die for. Honestly there are times when I want to just put the kits on my fireplace mantle and just admire them. They look beautiful without even making the project.

See what I mean?????   Those kits look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if you don't want to miss these events - get in touch with me ASAP.   And if you haven't figured it out by now - Jeanne and Shelley are CANADIAN. Go Canadian designers!!!!!!!!!!


Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
