10 Twisted Years!!!

Aside from a wonderful display of quilts by our very talented members there will be raffle tickets for sale for our beautiful quilt "Twisted Shades of Grey", a Merchants' Mall, In-Guild Challenge, Tea Room, Silent Auction and a Boutique where you can pick up all kinds of wonderful hand-made creations by our members.

Remember to put us on your calendar and check out the "Events" page on our web site (www.twistedstitchersquiltguild.com) for directions and photos from our previous shows.

Update: New Blog & Facebook Page!

With everything getting busier, the Guild is in the process of putting together a Facebook page and a new blog for all its future updates.

Here's a link to our brand new Facebook Page!
And here's a link to our New Blog which is currently under-construction.

Please keep an eye on both of these because any new information concerning the Twisted Stitchers Quilt Guild or the upcoming quilt show in November will be posted there.

Mark your calendars, post it on your fridge, make a reminder on your smartphone that the Twisted Stitchers Quilt Guild is planning their second quilt show.

Isn't it lovley!

where does the time go???

less than 3 weeks until our quilt show.
the entries are in, the challenge fabric is cut & sewn, the goodies are baked & frozen (not yet but use your imagiantion here folks).
It is going to be an awesome show. I can feel it in my bones - or is that arthritis?!

all joking aside- We have an awesome list of vendors for you to shop from.
drum roll please -

ULTIMATE SEWING CENTRE, Oshawa. Shirley has been an awesome supporter of our guild.

It is a fabric panel by Thomas Kincade through a window.

the countdown is on...

there is the smell of fresh pencils & laptops in the air. This, as a friend says, really is the beginning of the new year, even if your formal education days are decades behind you!
For the twisted stitchers that means quilt show preparations are in high gear. It is going to be a great show.
the challenge you ask?
the challenge is to use this fabric # 3003-45 by Mark Lipinski in a quilted piece no larger than 40"x40".
Here is my piece for the challenge. Come out to the show to see what the other guild members do with it!
