18th January

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to quilting and I hope you had a relaxing time over the Christmas and New Year period. We were a smaller group today who braved the heat but we enjoyed our catch up and especially the news of the safe arrivals of new grandchildren and great grandchildren since we last met.

2024 looks like another busy year with our Show in August and our Retreat booked for September at Kincumber. During our break from meetings our members have been busy sewing as you will see in Show & Tell.

Happy Birthday to our ladies who celebrate their birthday in January and we wish you many happy returns for your special day.
