The guild's meetings have come to a close for the summer but the activities were plentiful. Member Paula is responsible to challenge the members to make a project with a  specific pattern. This year the challenge was "two colors". 
These projects were unveiled along with a full day of fun activities for the members. 
Here is the parade of projects made with only two colors!

 "happy" 5th year. Hard to believe  it has been five years. Membership remains at 100 . The projects that have been made are too numerous to enumerate. But most importantly the bonds of friendship that have been established in the last five years are remarkable. 
And the fun continues as the members play together ...

And a special surprise for member Clara. 
Member Suzanne presented her with a quilt she found in her mother's attic (Jacqueline Comeau) which was made by Clara's mom (Stella à Patrick) . 
The quilt depicts the church at Grand-Pré our,  Acadian, historical park here in Nova Scotia. The quilt is all hand-made. Hand embroidered, hand pieced and hand quilted.
What is a celebration without good food to share. 
Members(L to R)  : Susanne, "Moi" , Anna, Clara, Simone, Charmène, Elaine, and Paulette
