She has perfected the art of scones during lockdown, while completing her Masters. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> So the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">T</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">hank you for the Calories award</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> goes to our new chair</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> <span> </span> SHEILA</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhieFiRolokO6ChLASv6i71CrurpZ9VJlLVsX9UD2DQTACx1qaAwcdcKFoahL6VUOqvbYSSL1eM448zzaF1GrCllWCPl615QpAiiXwnpP_JX8BkZ8-lPKXfl1RVj79yI-X9O3cBC8I-tOdNAP4HvI3TIXOu0A20I7qpc7PVzHcrnhTMXeBEUNKb-lBOMA/s320/EMQG_9.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="180" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhieFiRolokO6ChLASv6i71CrurpZ9VJlLVsX9UD2DQTACx1qaAwcdcKFoahL6VUOqvbYSSL1eM448zzaF1GrCllWCPl615QpAiiXwnpP_JX8BkZ8-lPKXfl1RVj79yI-X9O3cBC8I-tOdNAP4HvI3TIXOu0A20I7qpc7PVzHcrnhTMXeBEUNKb-lBOMA/s1600/EMQG_9.JPG" width="180" /></span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;">Sheila would like us to remind Liz that, after tasting her strawberry scones she famously said "i'll not ask for the recipe..."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">AWARD FOR QUILT WITH THE MOST CAT HAIR</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj96Bo-J-YoVjvlO3EueKCWsyEPNHfhblLtYxD9xwiHsOJIBGp7hYShXt-ePfWrYLeWrfpaYaZw_ROvMmqzQstrolMd_9c2GwI4jFNglvHACE28az8m_Hcdag2MDT26sf5zx8XXxAEWatnDmqOt5IL8rFMKGFbPm_ZfP9WPSTPkK5G0qzkGK1OnYgZYXA/s320/IMG_0706.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj96Bo-J-YoVjvlO3EueKCWsyEPNHfhblLtYxD9xwiHsOJIBGp7hYShXt-ePfWrYLeWrfpaYaZw_ROvMmqzQstrolMd_9c2GwI4jFNglvHACE28az8m_Hcdag2MDT26sf5zx8XXxAEWatnDmqOt5IL8rFMKGFbPm_ZfP9WPSTPkK5G0qzkGK1OnYgZYXA/s1600/IMG_0706.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are now into the most contested category of the evening.

Some of us struggle with the concept of deadlines (mainly Jo) but the winner here has been known to finish a quilt before she's even started it. This astonishing speed even covers the time she spends unpicking the bits she's got wrong, and the the time at the end when she finally gets round to reading the instructions.

text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">At the onset of the lockdown our usual bee block plans went a bit awry. As we had no face to face meetings all blocks had to be completed and posted. Some people just couldn't face sewing, the postal system had gone a bit crazy, so it all came to a slow halt.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">At the beginning of 2021 we thought it would be a good idea to get some kind of bee block project going even though we had no idea when we might meet up again.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So a new plan was hatched-every month someone would suggest a theme and all the participants would make a block, but not to pass on. Everyone keeps their own blocks. They can make them any size, or colour as long as they stick to the theme, and at the end of the year we would all have enough blocks to make our own quilts. They would all be very different, but the themes behind the blocks would be what links them together.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This was put to the guild as a suggestion to see how many people were interested. So many people wanted to take part that it is now extended into next year! Anne and Fiona (our queen bees!) went about sorting out a timetable to accommodate 20 members.

She is an artist who moved on to quilting a few years ago. She has a special technique unique to her called "dancing with the wall" It involves a sewing machine, a pile of fabric and a design wall. The idea is that you simply make up pieces of improv using the fabric at hand and then put them on the wall-the dancing is the part where you are going back and forward from sewing machine to design wall (there is no mention of the stage when you just sit there, staring at the wall, wondering what the hell you are doing....)<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">We did this course over a week. The first night Irene went through the process, referenci<br />ng her work, which is absolutely stunning-check it out on the link above-and sent us off to play. Two days later she was back to go through the mechanics of sewing together many random pieces of fabric which have now taken over your life. Irene constantly monitored our WhatsApp group, adding encouragement and helpful hints. Two days later we were all back to show what we had achieved. I'm sure no-one will mind me saying that this was somewhat varied! We all met up again 6 weeks later to show our final (or as final as they were going to get) Here are the things that we produced-some more finished than others!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi33Nov0G3rfr6kTONn6cBIHit7YjFVPoOj5TLhtkJY9a-CRZk7vyvIRazmWlIEHoHRZlZZT80XJqTH9vOTdJJod0DOjI_PDS4aaO7Kq06iY8kSw1W4lm76juDI7iY6zpNUBNdOFJN-zWB6/s320/0a2ad60a-9290-4298-8590-21bd0be58a59.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="320" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi33Nov0G3rfr6kTONn6cBIHit7YjFVPoOj5TLhtkJY9a-CRZk7vyvIRazmWlIEHoHRZlZZT80XJqTH9vOTdJJod0DOjI_PDS4aaO7Kq06iY8kSw1W4lm76juDI7iY6zpNUBNdOFJN-zWB6/w280-h296/0a2ad60a-9290-4298-8590-21bd0be58a59.JPG" width="280" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This one belongs to Jo.

that, but it might have been me. I got the job of head designer, mainly because
I had EQ8 and had produced lots of pictures of blocks and quilts-unfortunately
I hadn’t actually made any of these out of fabric but how hard could that be?
Lots of people signed up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I designed lots of

idea was to send out two or three blocks a week for 10 weeks. I would write the
patterns and sizes. Because my wrist wasn’t working I then sent this to
Heather, who tested the blocks and we then sent them out, starting on the 1<sup>st</sup>
of April. Simple! Hmmm….<o:p></o:p></span></p>

went back and forward between us for adjustment. Thankfully, because of
lockdown she couldn’t throw things at me. There may have been one week where I
managed to get them right. But (possibly because of boredom setting in) people
persevered with the curves, FPP and even partial seams and produced lots of
stunning versions of the blocks and eventually beautiful quilts<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmbfEoNSF4OztMjP2zvpbTswNbkByu2NemPbbkeyQJztDQpSo4uIsYIUL3oSvCoX9sb7qYyaABCBZz1N-2dIsD0mRtLdmhyphenhyphenydiz4ScCIM_1hbUj8iQfBT447C5jGoZhuaTYqp1aivZinw8/s385/Picture2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

The trouble with a nationwide project is that it requires a lot of fabric. Fabric that has to be shared between a lot </span><span style="color: black;">of groups. We finally triumphed and found a supplier. Except he didn't really supply everything he promised, but we got a free sample book of upholstery fabric(?) which would have made some nice cushions, but a bit thick for scrubs. Mags drove around and delivered parcels of fabric and patterns. She was so excited by finishing her first piece!

The world, as we know it, has gone mad. The guild has been overtaken by a manic hilarity, as if the realisation of what is happening hasn't quite got through yet. Queue the Sew Social What'sApp group. Started as a distraction from outside, we would talk about quilting, sewing, knitting, etc. Mainly at the beginning we talked about toilet roll. Jokes about toilet roll, videos about toilet roll, a toilet roll quilt and a constant running update on supplies in nearest supermarkets. Everyone had good intentions about how they would use their time productively-yoga, gardening, finishing all our WIPs (although for some members of the group this would have required lockdown to have lasted into the next decade..) and the funny pictures, videos and jokes continued. And then it all started to sink in. We had people who were shielding with their whole family, and there were no delivery slots to be had. Everybody rallied round, picking up stuff, dropping it at each others' front doors. Sewing became a way to distract from the outside. Online shopping became our new hobby. A new type of show and tell became the norm-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPlGvEE4-_3TKuH9tEZhis-cVUddxnXexbWli7gADhYIGtqg5-3crdJ21ylcrq09kFh9JlwOgreFUWdPNotx-cARWqDxsMZvj_ttVFGCX1R7tEjS2q9khDfSVu_Uv7O7VLjjyqlunvGqaS/s320/image+%25281%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPlGvEE4-_3TKuH9tEZhis-cVUddxnXexbWli7gADhYIGtqg5-3crdJ21ylcrq09kFh9JlwOgreFUWdPNotx-cARWqDxsMZvj_ttVFGCX1R7tEjS2q9khDfSVu_Uv7O7VLjjyqlunvGqaS/w230-h320/image+%25281%2529.png" width="230" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bNvMb7M17KondGdfapcIGUtJmUyjCHwiwvqBEPVUIj7aKagVLz8mq31U8u7RsLl-TRkt2uLCLnFd0gRZOu88Xfs5IBs_S8mUAgmDv0KHpRJxcqvlu_3egmT50Z2uB3WlH95dk-AS4pOl/s320/image+%25282%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bNvMb7M17KondGdfapcIGUtJmUyjCHwiwvqBEPVUIj7aKagVLz8mq31U8u7RsLl-TRkt2uLCLnFd0gRZOu88Xfs5IBs_S8mUAgmDv0KHpRJxcqvlu_3egmT50Z2uB3WlH95dk-AS4pOl/s0/image+%25282%2529.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcbKA9XwHJHAXw2eGPTr72FOGUneNtuL26PILKwT_WD3k7GYaSJo9BzkHPvAh9g2IVWpvTS0Bsu8860eIe5rhZ4AgzG_RIQStR2iFhPGJyZEmZDZ704R35HnF-V4SgZvHr4pdmhCgj7AkA/s320/image+%25283%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcbKA9XwHJHAXw2eGPTr72FOGUneNtuL26PILKwT_WD3k7GYaSJo9BzkHPvAh9g2IVWpvTS0Bsu8860eIe5rhZ4AgzG_RIQStR2iFhPGJyZEmZDZ704R35HnF-V4SgZvHr4pdmhCgj7AkA/s0/image+%25283%2529.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZ1H98Xe52UiPtKqZvXPGZ7Pq6sGYr_GL5qembcYFgo9ejVLX8-ZnzJCUTZS6fsPac5Uu88Dv0EnJL25xiW6tVY9mDfFaEvJJ7yWJtKJMWVw-6MB0GQ2pxvHMAfEHWE_5dAd5bD72XO6E/s320/image+%25285%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZ1H98Xe52UiPtKqZvXPGZ7Pq6sGYr_GL5qembcYFgo9ejVLX8-ZnzJCUTZS6fsPac5Uu88Dv0EnJL25xiW6tVY9mDfFaEvJJ7yWJtKJMWVw-6MB0GQ2pxvHMAfEHWE_5dAd5bD72XO6E/s0/image+%25285%2529.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then we decided that we would all make a video of our sewing spaces. There's nothing quite as good as seeing who's got a better sewing machine/bigger stash/better view than you. It was fascinating to see how these people we thought we knew, lived. We learned many things-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Who lied about not having tidied up first</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Who wasn't fessing up to all of their stash</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The fact that Juliet seems to have spread her sewing space across most of the rooms in her house</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That what Liz calls a "filing system" is known by the rest of us as a "pile"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Suzanne is trying for a Guinness world record for the most crafts stuffed into one room</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then normal sewing went on hold for a while, replaced by masks and scrubs, all co-ordinated through the group. Much time was spent deliberating how to get rid of husbands. People went quiet for a few days, but some funny post always brought them back. We all leaned on this group in a way that few people would have imagined. And most of us kept sewing-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcB0O2rVUUMK__QhrQZ7w86B02d_Oi3R_-yBvSNikqH7cfl4NnXkwA0nPPkCrPjl85ukEyhmMgR7R9A3Sx773zesITBMMOOVgVuPOapNGX5dVQpPpNHpjgf3ffMpsDioeFJyImTsr0t85T/s320/image+%25286%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>2019 Challenge from the Chair</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each year The Edinburgh Modern Quilt Guild set a "Challenge from the Chair". This is a project on a theme which results in a "mini quilt". What is a mini quilt I hear you cry? It's a small quilt!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a guild we have been running challenges since 2017, our new chair, Mags, continued the tradition that Cathlene had started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 2019 challenge was inspired by the traditions of the past and the merging of our craft with that of communication and protest across history into the modern day. Sewing for ceremony and protest has a long history whether it is the beautiful banners representing political unions or religious messages sewn to adorn churches. As a community of modern quilters we still feel connected to our past regardless of the aesthetic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 2019, a small contingent of our guild visited Nashville for <a href="https://www.quiltcon.com/" target="_blank">Quiltcon</a> and one of the lectures we attended was the fantastic and inspiring </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sara Trail.

Her lecture gave us a kick in the proverbial pants about how important this traditional skill is. The display of quilts and blocks made by many was a highlight of Quiltcon.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">SNOW WONKY (say it with a Scottish accent)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here it is, our charity quilt to be exhibited at The Modern Quilt Guild's showcase event Quiltcon, made in aid of Alzheimers Scotland. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year, Quiltcon is in The Music City, Nashville, Tennessee. As a few of us like honky tonk bars and margaritas we are going this year, yeehaaa. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were keen to have an entry exhibited since we are travelling over 3500 miles plus the colour pallet was particularly appealing this year. It evoked our very own Scottish heather clad hills, hey, maybe we should have followed that idea up!?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So how did this quilt come about? After deciding to go for it we had a call for ideas on what kind of quilt did we want to make. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After some debate and some powerpoint work by the vocal one who took the lead because there was no way she could get a quilt into Quiltcon herself (erm me!) w</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">e shortlisted these as:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>A simple small repeat block were the colour placement made the pattern,</li>
<li>A sampler of small piecing blocks</li>
<li>A bigger image constructed from small pieces</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to get the most people as possible involved we'd go for A) use all the colours and B) a simple repeating block.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It all started as a scrawl. To be fair we did try to overcomplicate the scrawl adding all kinds of ideas from a vortex to who knows what... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of the guild visited the <a href="https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/" target="_blank">Festival of Quilts</a> and we made a (sewing)beeline for the wonderful Simply Solids (now closed) who did a great job helping us match the colourway with this gorgeous bundle.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We scheduled our first sewing day, and it is a truth not denied that some of the team were nervous not having a pattern or anything other than a sketch to aim for. A secondary worry was small piecing. I was keen we all stretched ourselves and got something out of the process and hope we all had fun - even if I was treated like a victorian gangmaster 😇 I'm not the best at telling people what to do - honest!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We organised ourselves into colour squads - purples, pinks, greens, blues each borrowing strips from the previous team which would create an overlapping colourwash - kind of... maybe. It was very much a let's see what happens.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'd calculated the need for 660 3" blocks, if we were to piece the whole top - this was not the original idea! We were going to piece the colour then have vast swathes of neutral space. As we built the blocks up it became obvious that 0.5m each of the colour was not going to be enough to do the colour across the top. So we changed direction to a radiation of colour from the corner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After sewing day number 1 it felt like we had over committed. Great progress but so many more blocks were needed. At this point we rationed out the Kona "Snow" and many great people wonkied that snow up a storm! There were fabric drops around the region and wonky crosses came back, so many wonky snow on snow - hundreds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the 2nd sewing day we got a lot pieced but the real challenge was bringing the last colour band in. The recurring challenge of not having a real plan was never having enough fabric! Half a metre of the pale blue just wasn't enough to stretch along the outline of the bloom (or planetary transact, or ovary, or explosion!). A couple of more short sessions saw these gaps disappear as if the quilt was growing unaided into the spaces.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, the lovely <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mybearpaw/" target="_blank">@mybearpaw</a> Jo Avery let us finish the top in her studio - we needed the space! People dropped in throughout the day to fill the small gaps we had left and bring it all together into one very large flimsy! It was at this point we realised, erm, it wasn't wide enough - luckily we had all those snow blocks. So we added a couple of columns to the right landing at 720 blocks!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At this point in Snow Wonky's recorded history I am redacting how badly I put the top together (picture above)! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suffice to say, it turns out if you have 719 blocks at about 3.5" (unfinished) and 1 block at 4.5" unfinished pieced into the centre of the quilt it doesn't work so well. There will be natural variation in seams, cutting, piecing when 24 people have contributed blocks. This gives you a challenge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But when one of your members is totally awesome and patient (if you didn't hear the swearing there wasn't any swearing right?) you do end up with an amazing finish. Thanks to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_orriginal/" target="_blank">@the_orriginal</a> Kelly she brought order to the chaos, smoothed the wavy wonky wonder and quilted it into submission!</span></div>

</div>
<br />
Over the last 12 months we have been involved in 2 local charities which should be highlighted due to the excellent work they do.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h2>
Social Bite</h2>
Back in the summer last year the EMQG joined up with the Augusta Modern Quilt Guild to swap 12" (finished) blocks using solids - we were to make a pair and we kept one and swapped the other. At the same time Jo Avery told the guild that <a href="https://joavery.co.uk/2018/02/social-bite-homeless-village-quilt-drive.html" target="_blank">she was to launch a quilt drive</a> for the local charity <a href="http://social-bite.co.uk/the-social-bite-village/" target="_blank">SocialBite</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the blocks were swapped and brought together we decided we should create quilts from the guild for The Social Bite Village. Two members, Mags (shown below) and Pam, had a sewing afternoon were we raced each other (not really!) to create 2 tops. </div>
<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://joavery.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_6757-e1517652382858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://joavery.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_6757-e1517652382858.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://joavery.co.uk/2018/02/social-bite-homeless-village-quilt-drive.html">Photo Courtesy of Jo Avery</a></div><br /><h2>The Welcoming</h2>
<div>
<div>
The second charity endeavour for the Guild started from a contact from Victoria who works with a charity called <a href="http://www.thewelcoming.org/" target="_blank">The Welcoming</a>. They welcome newcomers to their events and activities to give people an opportunity to learn together and feel included in the local community, literally a welcoming. An amazing charity who do so many many diverse activities. Victoria had an idea to start a sewing group in conjunction with their warmer homes initiative and naturally that lead her to quilts. It also lead her to us at the Edinburgh MQG.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The proposal was to run a skills workshop to teach a group of people how to sew with an aim of making quilts then run a weekly drop in for anyone that fancied a blether and a creative couple of hours. This drop-in provided numerous benefits; friendship, new needlework skills, language skills and cake :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a guild we collected together donated supplies, fabrics, some new some upcycled everything was welcomed, notions and even sewing machines. We focused on hand sewing initially English Paper Piecing (EPP) and hand piecing. It was quite daunting, having made up little starter packs, we didn't know if anyone would turn up! We needn't have worried. The group formed from week 1. We started with threading needles, some had a little experience but others it was back to basics.<br />
<br />

<br />
After a single workshop on the 2 techniques the willing students jumped in and created. In the first term of drop ins people chose to make something they could keep, something pretty or useful or both!<br />
<br />
From upcycled jeans as the basis for tote bags decorated with EPP to a hand pieced cushion, every week we added new skills - embroidery, applique.<br />

After a Christmas break a number of the ladies returned and more joined. This time the group decided to work together, they had more confidence in their skills so ably lead by Mags, Ann and Suzanne they embarked on a quilt.<br />

To recognise how valuable volunteers are to society a partnership between Volunteer Edinburgh and The City of Edinburgh Council run a ceremony to award individuals, teams and charities for their work. Victoria, who originally contacted us, nominated The Quilters for an Inspiring Volunteers award. We were successful and a couple of members (Mags & Pam (not the one named on the label, your blogger!)) happily received a certificate on behalf of the Guild group. </div>

On the Friday we enjoyed a fun informative talk on inspiration. It was a great event as it wove a narrative of Krista's own quilty journey with an educational slant on how to challenge ourselves in our creativity.</div>

Her travelling trunk of quilts is no mere cabin baggage, it's like there was a proper old school shipping trunk hidden away somewhere full of phenomenal quilty goodness! </div>

The talk itself was very well attended and we've had great feedback from those that joined the guild for the night. Your desultory author was so engrossed she didn't take enough pictures to do the event justice!</div>
<div>

<div>
Krista's style, or rather styles, is an intriguing spectrum of extreme improv and well planned precision that makes you stare open jawed at the discipline involved in the construction.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your sporadic blogger can give you a taste of the content but better still if you have an opportunity to join Krista for a class or lecture - do it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My personal favourite, as a fan of improv, were the speed dating quilts. Krista's technique of limiting time and colour and forcing the owner of the rotary cutter to go at it with abandon is fantastic. For some, this is a real challenge. Is it the same as stripping down all convention and diving in - I need to stop with the verbose prose I'm making it sound like skinny dipping. Maybe it is of sorts?</div>

We also heard about the piano key method, which is an awesome mix of improv and structure. It reminds me of French gardens - wildness tamed by crisp box hedge edges.</div>

Moving along the precision scale we get to one of Krista's most iconic patterns, the <a href="http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/round-peg-square-hole-new-quilt.html" target="_blank">square peg round hole</a>. Can you believe that these 2 quilts are the same pattern? Nope neither can I. But they are!</div>

</div>
<div>
I'm not sure how many of us thought the Square Peg Round Hole workshop would be a doddle? It's just a log cabin after all.... Bahahaha! Nonsense. We started with a 1/4 inch seam tune up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have you ever tested your cutting, seams and pressing in one strip of squares? Your author hadn't - quite an eye opener! Turns out my tatty much abused ruler, my slashed cutting mat, my blunt rotary cutter and my even blunter needle may be holding me back?!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So once we were all comfortable that we had rectified any of the above sins or atleast knew how to compensate, we were off! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some looking a bit worried that the quilt police are real!</div>
