Both Sides of the Border and Beyond
St. Croix International Quilters, was organized
in 1982 and currently has approximately 60 enthusiastic members
from both sides of the US/Canadian border at Calais,
Maine, and St. Stephen, New Brunswick, plus women
from the Machias, Maine area. Our members
are quilters at all levels―most are beginner or
intermediate quilters. We have a few members
who have taught quilting classes and some who are
very advanced but we all learn something from each
other, regardless of our own skill level.
For details about any of our workshops
and meetings, check the calendar page. Feel free
to join us at meetings that may be of interest to
you; try us out. Workshops are open to the
public as space permits. You may enjoy yourself
so much you'll decide to join our group.

Tinner Project is Here
At the January meeting, we are going to
start “Tinners”. If you wish to participate,
feel free to join us. Bring to the meeting
a container(where the name comes from). In
your container include the following
information: size block you would like, 12
1/2, 10 1/2 etc., the block you would like,
stars, flowers, buildings, variety and the
background you want, white, beige, or
various colors. Also include a yard of
fabric that quilters can use as a guide to
your preference of colours. This yard can be
1 piece or several pieces adding up to a
yard.
The tinners are moved each month to different quilters who make a block using a bit of your fabric and their own, following your wishes as to size and pattern.
Do not put your
name on anything and you
don’t see the blocks until
the end.
At the end of the
project, you will be
rewarded with some great
blocks and have the fun of
making blocks in colours and
patterns you might never do. |
