SUMMARY:Lilo Bowman speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nSmall Spaces\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t let the small size of your space keep you from having hours of fun; it’s about learning how to prioritize. Let me show you some creative ways to utilize every square inch of your playground. Lilo Bowman\, the author of “Love Your Creative Space”\, will share some ideas for making the best use of your space. \nLilo’s Bio\nLilo Bowman has worked as a floral designer\, translator\, tour guide\, wedding planner\, and is now editor-in-chief of TheQuiltShow.com. Her work has been varied\, often challenging\, but always creative. Since early childhood\, she has been instilled with the desire for and love of doing something with your hands\, learned by observing the varied and beautiful items crafted by both of her grandmothers. Raised in a German culture\, Lilo was always keenly aware of and fascinated with objects (whether utilitarian or decorative) that were attractively displayed while still being orderly. \nFood\, travel (both as a military wife and tourist)\, and curiosity about other cultures have also played a large role in shaping Lilo’s sense of taste and design and her understanding of how others prioritize the items they choose to have in their homes. Being surrounded by strong\, independent\, and civic-minded female role models has instilled a sense of “you can do this” and “consider others” along the way. \nWhen not working\, Lilo travels\, gardens\, works on DIY projects with a ragtag bunch of rescue pets nearby\, and spends time with her extended\, loud\, noisy\, always food- and travel-talking family. \nLilo’s website: https://www.lilobowman.com/ \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass. You may credit this purchase towards your membership fee later.

SUMMARY:Fabric Collage with Alisa
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday May 20th\, 6:00pm -8:00pm\n\nCalling all fabric scraps!!\n\nThis workshop is all about slowing down and doing some hand stitching by using scraps of fabric and trim as your inspiration. \nWe will work on a fabric collage either on a piece of fabric that can be framed\, hung or used as a patch\, or directly onto your favourite garment (think jean jacket jazz-up). \nThe best thing about this is it uses up all the little scraps that crafters are often left with.

You can use this time to play\, tell a story with your work or just relax into some hand stitching. \nAll materials will be included!

SUMMARY:Walking as Remapping: Poem-Making from Place with Anna Swanson
DESCRIPTION:May 13.2025 6:00pm – 8:30pm\n\n\nLocation: The Boathouse Tea Room\, 116 Gordon St\, Guelph ON\nPrice: Free\nWalking as Remapping\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis walk invites participants to engage in an exploration of place through poetry. Inspired by the practice of ecological mapping and the work of writer Anna Swanson\, participants will use sight\, sound\, and texture as tools for gathering language from the world around us on this walk along the Speed and Eramosa Rivers. Throughout the walk\, landscape and cityscape will be observed not just as scenery\, but as layered texts: full of found language\, silences\, and ruptures. \nStarting and ending at the Covered Bridge steps by the Boathouse Tea Room\, this walk includes moments of observation\, note-taking\, and guided prompts that encourage poetic response. The poems created—individually and together—become a remapping of Guelph based on the sensory\, emotional\, and imagined textures of the city. No experience with poetry is required—just a willingness to walk\, to notice\, and to listen. Registration is required.
