Am I ever excited
I need a lot more practice to get my confidence but working on an actual project made it much more real and comfortable enough to do another one.
I am not terrified anymore. Anxious a bit... ??? Yes!
I made this tree skirt using a wedge ruler. A great tool! 
The Guild members submitted my Biography
for Volunteer of the year and I was chosen. It is with great humility and gratitude that I accepted this award in our Capital city, Halifax. The most wonderful feeling was to represent my Municipality of Clare. This award has many finger prints on it, all of which are worthy of recognition because with only one person a guilde cannot be formed. I am very happy to be part of such a wonderful team as the one on La Guilde Acadienne de Clare. 
Ariane ... my grand-daughter and her sister 
Laurène ... came to sew with grand-mère 
as well as their friend Sidney. They made a raggy pillow. The day was so rewarding to see the young and the not so young sew together. Now they want to became members of the guild. It was so much fun to see their enthusiasm.
and the event was a great success. 
6 guilds joined us for a quilting party and quilted on three of our quilts. Over 200 people came to visit and have lunch with us. The meal was the traditional 
Acadian dish, rappie pie and of course 
our celebration cake.
