16th January

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to quilting.

We were a small group that gathered today for quilting but owing to the extreme weather conditions we have experienced and school holidays it was to be expected.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words about Marie G who was a Life Member of Hunters Hill Quilters and a dear friend to her fellow quilters. Marie was the only person I knew who read the local paper from front page to back page and could tell you what was happening in our local community at all times. Marie’s knowledge of local history, to events past and present was outstanding and nothing slipped past her. Marie was an amazing quilter and she won Best in Show in 2000 with her quilt White on White. I enjoyed my time chatting not only to Marie and Alf but also to other members of her family who I was proudly introduced to when I called in to her home - she will be greatly missed by family & friends.
I would like to share with you some of the lovely  comments our members wrote about her. Marie will be missed;  such a beautiful person; a great loss; she was a kind, generous and gentle soul; always willing to share her quilting skills; such a beautiful and strong person; a generous friend always ready to offer help and support; always ready to chat and help other quilters and we have lost a wonderful, innovative quilter.

May you rest in peace dear Marie
