10th September

Hi Everyone,

We had another busy day at quilting today with sorting out the cupboards and quilts to be donated to WAGEC on 24th September. 

A huge “Thank You” to Narelle for organising our 2 day Retreat this week. We had 2 full days of sewing, chatter and some fun and games. Narelle ensured we were well feed with morning tea and lunch each day - it was hard to come to quilting on Thursday and find no catering was provided. Some of our projects from the Retreat:

Helen kindly ran a workshop on making a Needlecase which was a lot of fun.

Deb A made this Needlecase 

Please note that we will be holding our Birthday Celebration on Thursday 24th September and we would like to have as many members present as possible. It will be sewing as usual next week and I hope those members who are attending QuiltNSW Exhibition at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse will have a wonderful day - especially our prize winners. 

We are celebrating our Birthday on 24th September

3rd September - Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Spring has arrived and the weather today was perfect for quilting at Fairland Hall. It is always exciting seeing the community quilts being sewn or a group of ladies working on putting a quilt together creating the quilt sandwich. Now the quilting fun begins and I can’t wait to see the finished project. 

Don’t forget that September is our birthday month for Hunters Hill Quilters and we will be celebrating this milestone on Thursday 17th. Please bring a glass to share in some bubbles and another excuse to indulge in eating cake at quilting.

Our Retreat is next week and Helen has kindly offered to lead a Needlecase workshop for us. Narelle has sent an email to us this afternoon with the requirements on what you will need to bring to make a Needlecase. I look forward to seeing those who are attending the Retreat on Tuesday at 10:30am at the North Ryde RSL.

🎉 Happy Birthday 🎉 to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in September - wishing you many happy returns for your special day.

Hi Everyone, 

Today at quilting was a normal day with just sewing and conversation. I must say it is great to have our show behind us and we are now quilting for pleasure. Next Thursday we will have a wrap up of our show and Grace has asked for us to have our reports completed to be added to the Show folder.

Retreat

Our Retreat is happening soon at North Ryde RSL Club, 27-41 Magdala Road, North Ryde on Tuesday and Wednesday 8th - 9th September from 10:30am - 5pm. Looking forward to the fat quarter game!

20th August - Quilt Show Presentation Day

Hi Everyone, 

After a busy 4 days last week and over the weekend for our Quilt Show all I can say is congratulations on a job well done to all our members who helped make our show a success. We welcomed many visitors to the Town Hall and even some rain didn’t deter people from attending and admiring our quilts.

Today Helen was presented with the Alysoun Ryves Trophy for Best in Show by Kathy from Material Obsession who was a sponsor for the show.

We also invited Coleen to attend this morning to show our appreciation for her assistance to the Judge by marking off  the quilts to compile a short list for Judges Choice and Best of Show. Coleen scribes the comments made by the Judge for us to attach to the winning quilts. This is not a task for the faint of heart and Coleen handled her duties efficiently and professionally throughout the process of judging.

Thanks to Kerry D for organising our delicious morning tea it was enjoyed by everyone.
