Hi Everyone,

Thanks to everyone who came to quilting today it was another fabulous day. World Prematurity Day was held last week and we received a message from Olivia thanking us for the baby quilts and said they were lovingly received. Jane bagged 40 baby quilts ready to be delivered to Little Wonder at RPA for Christmas.

Next week Christie will be showing us her ceramics she has made and they are also for sale. If you are looking for gift ideas for Christmas this is your opportunity.

Hi Everyone,

We are so lucky to have such talented members at Hunters Hill Quilters. Where quilting is our main objective our members are continually creating and perfecting other skills, so it shouldn’t surprise us when Hayley was able to visit us today and show us her latest project. Hayley went to Java to learn batik material printing and we were thrilled that she brought in some of her material she printed and coloured at the workshop she attended. The process is long and physical taking days to achieve the printing and colouring of the material. Hayley added she will never complain about the cost of batik fabric when purchasing it, after experiencing the hard days of work needed to finish each piece of fabric. She enjoyed the experience so much that she is eager to go back and learn more techniques.

Some example of Hayley’s batik printing

9th November

Hi Everyone,

Another busy day at quilting with discussions regarding our 2024 date for our retreat and whether is should be before or after the Quilt Show. 

Speaking of our Retreat we had a wonderful time away at St Joseph’s in Kincumber. We were able to dedicate our weekend to sewing and working through the UFO box as we didn’t have to think about cooking meals with all our food prepared for us. Thank you Narelle for organising the weekend.

The trifle was amazing.
