President’s Challenge – 2024-25

As mentioned at the Guild Meeting, each month we will be issuing a new block to complete.  Each block will consist of nine 6” squares (finished size).  Each final Block will measure 18.5” x 18.5” (unfinished).

Your fabrics (both feature and background) can be one fabric, a crumb fabric that you have sewn, or many fabrics for a scrappy look.  Have fun!

You will be sewing one large block, as described above, and a second block (same design) that measures

6.5” x 6.5” (unfinished).  Think carefully where you want to place this small, second block before you make the large block.  This second block will replace one of the nine 6” squares of the large block. 

When you choose the fabrics for the smaller block, think carefully about your design.  It could look exactly like the large block, or you could change the fabric placements.  You could change the colours in this block to draw your eye to it.

President’s Challenge for 2023-24

A World of Colours!

All members are encouraged to participate in the President’s Challenge.

Each month, a colour will be assigned to those who are participating.

Bring your finished block(s) to the next Guild Meeting, to show and share with others, or to leave as a donation for a Comfort Quilt.

For full instructions, look under the Resources tab on the Guild website (norfolkquiltguild.ca) or go here.

Accuquilt Go! Big Fabric Cutter Equipment

This equipment is located at the Simcoe Public Library in the Maker Space.

The NCQG and TQG were instrumental in having this equipment installed at the Library in 2019.

Recently new dies and new cutting mats were purchased by the library.

Benefits:

  • 6 layers of fabric can be cut at a time on each die.
  • There is no Shoulder or hand strain from cutting.
  • There are no dog ears for pieces such as Flying Geese, as they are pre-trimmed. This helps with accuracy.

The link to an 8-minute video tutorial on YouTube – AccuQuiltGo Big Electric Cutter (dated September 2014) is here.

Find more information (Cutting Reference List and List of Available Dies) under the Resources tab on the Guild’s website.

Community Outreach

Our Guild has been able to donate quilts and many other items to the Children’s Aid Society of Haldimand & Norfolk, Haldimand & Norfolk Women’s Services, Haldimand-Norfolk Reach (Union House) and Norfolk Pregnancy & Family Resource Centre again this year. Thanks to all those who were able to contribute.
