15th October

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were smaller in attendance but mighty in productivity. Narelle and Judy were busy basting quilts while others were looking for fabrics in our vast collection. Deb T gathered our next donation of 40 baby quilts to send to Little Wonders @ RPA for World Prematurity Day in November.

To our fellow quilters who are experiencing ill health we are missing you and hope you will be able to return to our group soon.

We are sewing a wall hanging for the local Congregational Church celebrating their 150th year - if you would like to help with this project please see Sandy.

1st October - Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Today was Community Day at quilting and the boxes and bags of projects came out to be worked on. Groups gathered together with their ideas to work on quilts and it is wonderful to watch the process grow.

Being the school holidays we were down on numbers but we had two visitors - Ruth (Deb A’s sister) and Kathy who joined us for the day - we hope you enjoyed your time with us.

We are getting closer to the end of our quilting year so I want to remind our members our Christmas Party Lunch will be held on Thursday 10th December starting at 11:00am.

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

Hi Everyone,

Happy Birthday Hunters Hill Quilters! Today at quilting we celebrated our 42nd Birthday 🎂🎈🥳

We also welcomed Laura from WAGEC today to accept our donation of $20,000 from funds raised at our Quilt Show. None of this would have been possible or achievable without our members working tirelessly together so we could hold an outstanding show and to all of the people in our Community and beyond who attended our Quilt Show in August - thank you.

Grace presented our donation cheque to Laura from WAGEC

We also donated quilts and hand knitted bears to make the rooms welcoming to the clients of WAGEC

Party celebrations were enjoyed by our members who made short work of the food and drink!

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were missing a few of our regular sewers owing to the opening day of QuiltNSW Exhibition at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse. Congratulations to Grace on receiving a second for her Modern Negative Space quilt and a Judges Commendation for her Combined Pieced & Appliqué quilt. Plus congratulations to Deb A’s grandson Artie who  received a first place in the Junior & Youth Challenge block.

Next week we will be presenting WAGEC with the funds raised from our Quilt Show and don’t forget to bring a glass with you to quilting.

Congratulations Grace

Well done Artie

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.
