President’s Message It’s hard to believe that 2018 is slipping away quite quickly now and that by the time you read this Thanksgiving celebrations with family and friends, and the turkey dinner will be a (hopefully) lovely memory. Of course, on the horizon is Halloween and hard on its heels – Christmas! I don’t know about anyone else but fall seems to bring with it a renewed energy for all things sewing and quilting. On the other hand, preparations for the holiday season seem to consume mega amounts of time. And so, it is important to stay focused and set aside time for all of these things. Setting aside as little as 20 minutes a day will result in projects completed rather than UFOs and PIGS (projects in grocery sacks)! But if you can’t manage that, or need motivation or something more, then you need to sign up for UFO days, or the BOM, or take a project or two from our Outreach ladies; your guild offers many opportunities to choose from whether you want to learn a new skill, or hone the ones you already have while being creative and making something you or a loved one can enjoy in the coming years. Stay focused, stay organized, and SEW ON...and join in and have some fun! Alison McDonald, president

Programme
We are excited this month to welcome Joyce
O’Connell, Quilt Artist and Teacher from Courtice,
Ontario. Joyce is a National & International Award
-Winning Quilt Artist who has a broad knowledge
of both traditional and innovative quilting designs
and techniques. Her work has been exhibited in
Canada, the United States and England. She will
be presenting her “That was then, this is now”
trunk show, showcasing her journey in quilting,
explaining the progress from a complete beginner
with traditional quilting to developing her Bargello
designs, and then into Art Quilts and
Competitions. She will also expand on several
processes of the Bargello technique, how it
evolves, and explain color selection and
placement.
Reminder, we need 2-4 white glove ladies to help
our guest speakers showcase their beautiful
quilts. The sign-up sheet is at the membership
table at every meeting.
Jane & I would appreciate any feedback on our speakers, so if you have comments/suggestions, please send them to [email protected] or [email protected]. If you have heard of a great speaker, please send us their contact information as we plan for the next 2 years. Leslie Drake & Jane Waye

We all have panels in our stash and
sometimes it’s a challenge to find a ways to
use them...so now to the challenge – Make
a quilt, any size, any technique, just be sure
to include a printed panel...or two...maybe
three!
Prizes, Prizes, PRIZES!
• Best workmanship
• Most creative use of your panel(s)
• Judges choice
This could be a great way to use up some
stash, or stretch your creative wings, or you
consider donating your finished quilt to
Outreach.

Block of the Month
Instructions for the next phase of Block of the Month will be handed out at October’s
meeting. I have talked to several of the ladies who signed up for block of the month and
they are all working feverishly to get their flying geese done so that they can move onto
the second phase. The next phase is just as easy as the first just a few more steps.
If you cannot pick up your next hand out perhaps you can have a guild friend pick it up for
you.
Look forward to talking with you at the meeting.

Comfort Quilts Hello Ladies,
We are off to another good start for the Ancaster Quilter's Guild Comfort Quilts program. I'm
sure you all agree it was a pleasure to receive a personal thank-you from Hamilton Police
Services. We were able to donate 16 quilts to them at the September meeting from the
guild. Thank-you all for your continued efforts to help our outreach program. Please come by
and visit us at our table. We'll have quilt kits, finished quilt tops needing quilting and we'll try
for some more quilts that need hand binding. We plan on making drop offs of additional
finished quilts in November. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.
Ann, Cathy and Karen
