September 2025 to June 2026

March 16, 2026

We will see and welcome Jackee Thayson presenting “Make It Modern” to our March 16, 2026 meetings. An avid Quilter for over four decades, Jackee Thaysen is well-known and well-respected in the quilting community on the North Shore in Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast and now Campbell River.

Her quilting journey began in 1982 when her love of quilts and desire to have some for her children, pushed her to take on the challenge of quilting. Although quilting began as a hobby for her it soon became a full-time career in the quilting Industry. Working in a quilt shop for several years led to a love of teaching Quilting classes for all levels of quilters. In 1999, recognizing the need for a quilting and binding service for people who love piecing the top of quilts but never have the time to finish, Jackee started her own machine quilting business called “Jackee’s Quiltworks”. Quilters and non-quilters alike admire Jackee’s work, and she is often commissioned to design and create custom quilts.

Although Jackee “retired” in 2010 when she moved to Campbell River, she still teaches the occasional class for her guild on Quadra Island. She has, however, become one of those in need of professional machine quilting as she is constantly chasing those pesky “new idea” squirrels and making more and more quilt tops!

If you have taken a class from Jackee in the past, please bring your project to show. Finished or not, maybe this will inspire you to complete that UFO! We are all part of her journey.

Rhonda Morrison owner of “QuiltNut Creations” in Chilliwack is our March vendor. First time as a vendor at our guild meeting, you may remember her as a vendor at our last quilt show. Welcome Rhonda.

On behalf of your Program Committee, Sandi McLean, Betty Kozak, Lori Marshall and Debby McRae
