Hurrah! Winter is really over. It‟s wonderful to see all the spring blossoms. Spring is my favourite season in Vancouver.
I‟d like to welcome back those members who travelled to warmer climes for the winter. I also congratulate those who, like me, stayed home and suffered through the cold days of winter.
I‟m looking forward to this month‟s meeting and our “Quilt „til You Wilt” day later in the month. I wouldn‟t be surprised to see an increase in attendance with the return of our snowbirds. See you all there!

QUILTS OF VALOUR
Here is a reminder to everyone about our guild’s contribution of log cabin blocks for Quilts of Valour. Every block
made will generate one ticket for the sewer to enter in a draw happening at the May meeting. If you make 5 blocks,
you will be given 5 tickets. Happy sewing and good luck! You may be the lucky winner! The pattern is at the end of
this newsletter – the block requires a scant ¼ inch.
.
Moja Coffee Corp. 1412 Rupert Street North Vancouver, BC V7J 1E9 Moja is a wonderful place to grab a cup of coffee.

CANADIAN QUILTERS ASSOCIATION
Good day to all CQA/ACC Member Guilds,
Thank goodness it is almost spring. I'm sure many guilds are starting to plan for their end of
year activities and even starting to work on next year's plans. Today's biannual CQA/ACC
Guild Newsletter brings you a few items that may be of interest to our member guilds. Also, as
we know guilds' executives change and different people become responsible for different
activities, we include a few reminders of where to find resources, such as Event Calendar and
ordering Guild Rosettes. We want our member guilds to receive the full benefits of their
membership.
1) Quilt Canada 2019 Sponsorship
Guilds received correspondence from Heather Black, CQA/ACC President, in the fall of 2018
requesting support for 2019 Quilt Canada being held in Ottawa. We want to thank the many
guilds who have already sent in donations! Whether $25 or $500, all donations make a
difference to your Association and allow us to provide a top notch event. If your guild has not
made a donation yet, it is not too late.
To make a donation toward Quilt Canada 2019, please contact our Treasurer, Judy Brown,
