Pattern correction – Anniversary Quilt Along

By Brigid March 26, 2022 news and announcements
Please note, there is an error in the True North Sampler Quilt Pattern, original version showing fabric in blue/green/yellow. The Canadiana version showing the red/black/blue Canadiana fabric is fine. 
 
Make these changes to the Beaver Airplane Block cutting instructions.   Blue fabric instructions should read:
 
“Cut 1 piece, 9 1/2” X 3” and label as C1.”
 
Also, for background fabric cut pieces B2 and B3 at 4” x 6” for easier piecing. 
 
Sorry for any frustration this error may have caused!  Beth

To attend you will have to show proof of double vaccination and you will sign in at the main entrance for contact tracing purposes. Please sign in first and then unload your supplies at the back door.  Maintain social distancing.  

Masks will be worn except for eating or drinking or sitting at your table.  Hand sanitizer and the disinfecting solution will be available. It will be your responsibility to disinfect your table and chair upon departure. Bring your own lunch and drinks. Kitchen facilities will not be available.

If the number of Covid cases in Ottawa rises to a concerning level or restrictions are put in place by authorizing health agencies, the sew day will happen over Zoom instead.  We will keep you informed.  

We hope you enjoy the day and being with your guild colleagues!
