As usual my blog posts are few and far between but the
Inuvik Quilting Guild is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2016
and I feel like I need to make more of an effort to keep up with information,
photos and updates of quilting (and curling) in Inuvik. This Guild was first
started in 2006 with myself, Carolyn Hunter and Beth Pechter (who now resides
in BC). The support and members the Guild has had in 10 years continues to
amaze and inspire me and the amount of activities we have taken on is huge,
especially considering we are a community of only 3,800 people in total.
Catching up on projects and activities! The Guild hosted its
9th Annual Summer quilt show in Inuvik in summer 2015. We did a Twelve
By Twelve challenge and display inspired of course by the original
projects/initiative (http://twelveby12.blogspot.ca/) . This show was hung at
the Inuvik Community Greenhouse (http://www.inuvikgreenhouse.com/) and at the Great Northern Arts Festival (http://www.gnaf.org/).
I
LOVE these projects that we do each year! My project this year was Tinny
Loves Picking Cranberries and was a pattern that I created in a workshop a few years
ago with Yellowknife artist Janet Pacey (@signedYk). I have wanted to do this
pattern for long and finally got a chance!
Happy Sewing Everyone!
