Garnet Tracy will be missed.
Garnet passed away on Sunday May 4th just short of his 88th birthday.
He had made 800 quilts over his lifetime and stopped quilting about 6 years ago.
We will post a retrospective of his work soon.

Many thanks to Sarah's husband and our very own Carole Braiden.

Ruti's Needlebed
One of the Block of the month quilts is called "A Toonie a Time". Come each month and for a toonie, taxes included, you will get the fabric and instructions for a block. This is a fun way to try different patterns which could be used for a whole quilt. All the blocks use thangles which is a fast efficient way to make 1/2 square triangles.
Ruti also has a Quilting Club from 1 pm to 3 pm on the second Friday of the month. Come learn a different technique each month as you experiment with exciting ideas. You will sew at the class and go home with a new project started. Membership is $30 a year.
