Is it Really Snowing?

Well, I can't believe my eyes but it is snowing here in Toronto! I can't imagine a greater harbinger of winter and the long, cozy months of quilting and knitting ahead of us!

Things are in a mild state of disarray as we clean up from the Creativ Festival and prepare for our next show but we have lots of goodies coming in including a whole batch of Hoffman batiks that we have unpacked and loaded up on the shelves...they are absolutely exquisite and there are 50 new ones to choose from.

This weekend the Rouge Valley Quilter's Guild is hosting its Show and Sale at the Pickering Village United Church at 300 Church Street North in Ajax. The show runs on Friday October 24, from 10 am - 8 pm and on Saturday October 25 from 10 am to 5 pm .

There will be:

• Door prizes
• Viewers’ choice
• Raffle of members’ quilt
• Miniature quilt silent auction
• Guild members’ shop
• Vendors’ marketplace (don't forget to visit us!)
• Tea room

Hope to see you in the shop...or at the show!

Great Big Thank You to All Our Friends in Rouge Valley

Last night Sandy and I had the pleasure of visiting Rouge Valley Quilter's Guild. I have been down to a meeting with them before and they are a feisty and fun lot of gals! Oh how I wish it weren't such a long haul for me or I would be there every month to enjoy the fun. I want to thank all the members who gave us such a warm welcome and also to those who shopped at our booth - we really appreciate it!.

If any readers are in East Toronto or the Pickering area I encourage to visit one of the guild meetings. The General Meeting is held on the fourth Tuesday of every month from September to May (except December) from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. The meetings are held at St. Joseph's Church Hall - 200 Morrish Road, Scarborough. The meeting includes Guest Speakers, block of the month, display of member's quilts and access to the Guild's library of over 500 books on quilting. Coffee, tea and cookies are provided. Please remember to "lug-a-mug". Rouge Valley welcomes all quilters...especially beginners!

Thanks Again ladies!
