12th September

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we celebrated our birthday with a glass of bubbles and a delicious mini cupcakes. Thanks to Kerry and Narelle for organising the food and drinks it certainly made the day feel special.

To make our day Krystiana was able to join us as we presented RizeUp with $20,000 from our 2024 Quilt Show. We also donated 4 quilts to Krystiana today to be placed in the homes they are preparing for new clients.

Retreat Weekend 6th - 8th September

Hi Everyone,

What a weekend away at Kincumber on our Retreat. A huge thank you to Narelle who organised our weekend. Narelle not only organised our accommodation but also made suggestions for places to visit on our way up.

Japanese Gardens @ East Gosford

A must on our list was visit to Achieve just in case we needed more supplies. A quick afternoon tea at Avoca then onto St Joseph’s at Kincumber.

Setting up in the “sweat shop” 

        Strip Poker Queen - Ann

The games we participated in over the weekend were a lot of fun. BINGO anyone! Fat quarter games with twists! I think we all agree the  “Strip Poker” game was hilarious, fun and lots of laughter from the group. Ann will now have to be called the queen of having the best poker face. Thanks Narelle for the organisation of the games and the prizes for the weekend.

Congratulations to Hayley who became a grandmother again on Saturday and she is looking forward to meeting her new grandson after the Retreat. 

To round off our weekend we celebrated Marie’s birthday on Sunday. “Happy Birthday Marie”

Morning Tea

Working hard on our projects

The wild life was plentiful with cheeky magpies, ducks and rabbits. This cute little bunny was too late to join us for afternoon tea.

The weekend was a great success and thanks to the ladies who were able to attend.

Until next time.

Happy quilting, Sandy

5th September Community Day

 Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to Spring sewing at Hunters Hill Quilters. The weather certainly didn’t disappoint us with a warm and sunny day. There was plenty of activity at quilting today as it was Community Day and some spring cleaning of the cupboards. Thank you to all the ladies who helped with the last three containers of fabric as it has been a long task but we have found good homes for the collection.

Safe driving to all those members who are attending the Retreat this weekend at Kincumber. 🚙

🎂 Happy Birthday to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in September🎂. I hope you enjoy your special day.

 Next week at quilting Hunters Hill Quilters will be celebrating our birthday. Please bring a glass as we have organised cake and some bubbles. We will also be presenting RizeUp Australia with our donation from the funds raised at the Quilt Show.

Linda from the Zonta Club of North Sydney contacted me this week with the news that they had raised $1,000 from their raffle from the two quilts we donated. They are now able to provide more clean Birthing Kits for women in developing countries. A special thank you to Ellen and Lin for introducing us to Linda from the Zonta Club. The quilts were much appreciated by the winners. If you would like to help Zonta the next birthing kit assembly day in North Sydney is on 12th October - see Ellen or Lin.

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting it was good to see the return of some of our members who have been unwell or back home from their travels. Lots of chatter and sewing filled the hall.

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were able to thank Robyn Jo. who not only made items to sell at our show but donated her commission to our Charity RizeUp. Thank you for your generosity Robyn. 

I would like all of our members to start thinking about taking on a coordinating job for our 2026 Quilt Show. Although we don’t finalise these positions until February 2025 we need members to start asking questions and find out what is required of them. Come and talk to me and I will do my best to help with information you will need to know as all positions are available. Grace has offered to coordinate Waggas.

Narelle sent out an email on Monday regarding our Retreat please contact her if you didn’t receive it. Don’t forget to check your Spam file.

Hi Everyone,

Today was another busy day at quilting with the challenge on what orphan blocks we will be sewing together at our Retreat in 3 weeks time. Sue D has taken the box of  Liberty fabrics and blocks which we received as a donation and will surprise us with her design to make a quilt for Community.

A couple of weeks ago Ann went on a knitting retreat and won the challenge for the Fingerless Mitten Competition. Well done Ann - are you taking orders?
