April 2026

 Dearest reader,

Spring is finally here. April saw an explosion of cherry blossoms, sunshine and blue skies.

Our April meeting saw many members returning and all was well. We wish those members that could not attend good health and hope to see them soon.

Our next challenge “Animals” is due at our upcoming May meeting.(Tuesday, May 5th from 10 to 4pm at Heritage Acres)

The Victoria Quilters have their show on May 8,9, and 10 at the Pearkes Arena. We will not be participating with a table this year.

Thanks to members who brought show and tell beauties: Maureen, Maria, Jan and Barb

Maureen has been doing a 100 day “pear” challenge and made these dolls plus a altered book lady.

Maria was commissioned to replicate a cherished rag doll for two grandchildren 

Jan used her “slow stitching” on a simple doll, beautiful 

Barb is making another of her wee trolls for her sister, lucky gal.

See you all soon with your new creations. Please feel free to bring new dolls even if not part of the challenge.

March 2026

Hello dearest members, March has been very cool and rainy but Spring is finally here.

The March meeting saw many members return and the gathering was fun and productive. It was decided that our doll club would not participate in this year’s Victoria Quilt Show. Sadly, as we are all aging, not as many of us are able to commit to sitting with our creations at a show.

Members are reminded that our next club challenge, Animals, will be due at the May meeting.

Now for the fun show and tell: thanks to Maria, Sharon and Gail for sharing 

Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 7 at Heritage Acres.
