April - May Stitch N Learn Activity For your quilting pleasure this month, I have selected a quilt pattern that teaches lots of fun things in a versatile and flexible way. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wI5NboAoFM... You’ll learn: A quick and easy way to make beautiful quarter-square triangle blocks, how to quickly trim these blocks, how to add sashing, and how to add cornerstones to your sashing. The beginning of the video has poor sound quality. Fortunately, it’s promo material and NOT the actual Tridazzle lesson. It is only a couple of minutes so either fast forward or just ignore it until the lesson starts. To earn an entry in the Stitch and Learn draw, here is what you need to do: Make a minimum of 4 quarter square triangle blocks - any size you want, and join those 4 squares together to form a 2 block x 2 block grid with sashing and cornerstones any width sashing that makes you happy. This is a great way to use up some scraps. Or start a HUGS quilt. You could even make a doll blanket, a placemat, a yoga mat roll, or something else fun and creative. The project does NOT have to finished to qualify for an entry you just need to make 4 blocks and join them with sashing and cornerstones. Dazzle us with your Tridazzle project! To qualify for the prize for completing your project, send a photo of your completed item

MCQG Monthly Meeting Every Quilt Tells a Story April 21, 2021 @ 7:30 pm 9:30 pm via zoom Please join us for "Every Quilt Tells a Story" presented by members of the Mountain Cabin Quilter’s Guild. Most often, the quilts we make as quilters are far more than fabrics and threads. They are often made for a special person, for a special reason or occasion. They contain memories and stories that move and inspire. In this presentation, five guild members will share a quilt th...at is special to them and the story it tells. https://mountaincabinquilters.ca/event/monthly-meeting-6/
