Library Update – September
2024
The EDQG Library is one of the benefits of membership in the guild. Members can borrow books from our library of over 500 books. A selection is brought to each meeting where they can be borrowed and returned the following meeting or renewed by contacting the Library Chairperson at library@edqg.ca. Books can also be picked up and dropped off at the FFAA studio on Guild Sew Days, or at Trapunto.
To browse our complete book inventory, members must login to edqg.ca to view and request books. Choose Library from the listing on the left., click on Library Catalogue to see colour pictures and brief descriptions of our books. Use the Library Cart feature to place a book request order.
This summer, an Inventory of our books was completed. Thank you to Marie P. and Cheryl M. for their assistance. Older books and duplicates have been removed and will be offered to our members at our annual book sale in May.
A Library Book Raffle is held at our monthly meetings. The money raised goes to purchase new books for the library. We offer two quilt related books as prizes each month. Tickets are $1.00 per ticket, or 6 for $5.00.
The prize books for September are:
- Just Two Charm Pack Quilts: Slash Your Stash: Make 16 Throw Quilts, by Cheryl Brickey. (The title says it all!)
- The Big Book of Quick-to-Finish Quilts: 54 Fast, Fun & Fabulous Projects, by Martingale & Company. (The Martingale Big Book series offers many different projects by many different quilt designers. Unfortunately, they are no longer publishing, so this is your opportunity to pick up one of their fabulous books.)
Some of our Recently Purchased Book Titles for the Library:
- Modern Memory Quilts, by Suzanne Paquette.
- Improv Quilting, by Irene Roderick.
- Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs, by Kelly Young.
- Ultimate Quilt Finishing Guide, by Harriett Hargrave & Carrie Hargrave.
- Best of Jelly Roll Quilts, by Pam & Nicky Lintott.
Happy Reading and Creating! See you at the meeting, or online!
