Welcome to our 2026-2027 Quilt Guild season with lots of exciting guest speakers, workshops, sewing days and project already being planned. Our Committees are working hard behind the scenes to make this another fun year!

The Grand Quilt Guild was again asked to participate in the Pioneer Tent this year to display hand quilting at the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games.
Each year, we display a quilt called ‘The Fergus Highland Fling‘ in the background of our quilting area. This quilt was created for the 65th anniversary of the Highland Games. The story is captured in the photos below.
The quilt being quilted this year was called ‘Plaid-ish’, which was fitting for the event! Members throughout the year were encouraged to dig into their stash and finish a block or two to put into the quilt. Lots of chatting and laughter were had these two days!

If you have items you would like to share with others and/or rehome, bring them along and place them on the Sharing Table. Check out this area for that thing that you have been looking for and haven’t found elsewhere. It has been a life-saver for many in-process projects, and sometimes inspiration for new projects!
Remember to sign in and pick up your door prize tickets.
