Hi Everyone,

Today we were a busy group with a Wagga being assembled and another being tied. At Show & Tell we viewed some hats, a table runner, cards and bags to be sold at our Show. Iris has made 50 stunning cards which I have no doubt will sell fast, so get in early for your purchases.

Marie K has been named our ‘bag lady’ for the Show as she has completed another 7 bags and we cannot wait to set up the Stage Sales display a couple of weeks before the show to be photographed. The photos will be published on Facebook, Instagram and our Blog to entice you to join us at our biannual Quilt Show.

Hi Everyone,

A smaller number of people were at quilting today owing to Easter. This didn’t stop our members having a catch-up whilst sewing. We are all busy thinking and sewing for the show, so I am happy to report that Sheila completed a bag and Sue D made 2 hats  to be sold at the show.

🐣🐥🐰Wishing you all a happy Easter and safe travels if you are going away for the long weekend. 

Next week will be our Community Day and we are making daycare hats to sell at the show. If you are able to bring to the workshop your sewing machine and a mini iron it would be appreciated. Alison has prepared hats kits to be sewn.

Hi Everyone,

Today was our Bunting voting day and bag making workshop. All I can say is thank you to everyone who participated in the Bunting challenge and once again I am amazed at the variety produced by our members. The Bunting will be sold at our Quilt Show in August.

The bag making workshop had us all busy and we were able to sew the seven kits prepared by Suzie L, Deb T and Alison. Special thanks to our “supervisor” Marie K who kept us on the straight and narrow as an expert in making the bags.

Bunting
