The Fraser Valley Quilters’ Guild is a non-profit Society. The purpose of the Guild is to bring the joy of quilting to the public by way of shows, displays, and demonstrations, and to bring ideas and learning experiences to the members by way of workshops, guest speakers, and demonstrations.
Guests are always welcome with a free drop-in for the first meeting. There will be a fee of $10.00 for non-members for special guest speakers to help cover costs.
Please see the picture below which represents all of the blocks that were done by our members for the outgoing President.
This has been a tradition for many years and is done in secret by the members and presented to the outgoing President in appreciation of her contribution to the Fraser Valley Quilters Guild during her time in office
Congratulations a job well done, Irene
October 13th Nicholas Turcan
Nicholas Turcan is a multi-talented and very creative individual. His journey into quilting began in 2012 with one quilt. Well, one quilt quickly turned into several which led him
to a job at The Cloth Shop on Granville Island, where his passion for fabrics, quilting and designing patterns only grew. He is now a talented long-arm quilter, who helps his
clients enhance their quilts with his creativity. In addition to long-arm quilting, he has also started to teach free-motion
Quilt as inspired
In this lecture I will summarize my quilting journey and discuss (and show) my favourite quilts! I will share some of the teachable moments that took me from a novice quilter to the artist I am today. For the second half of the talk I really want to discuss how to choose designs and how to create secondary designs from just the quilting. The quilts shown during this portion are samples that I made specifically for this lecture and show you just how creative and versatile this style can be!
The April, May and June winners were:
Joan Hebden, Georgina Myles and Betty Walker
