Another busy day at quilting today with the Management Committee holding a meeting to discuss the holding of our 2026 Quilt Show, also on starting the process to approach HH Council regarding the availability of the Town Hall in August 2026. We will also be sending out a questionnaire to our members asking about the Show or improvements to be made etc.
We talked about signage at the Hall to attract new members and the design for the handout at the Craft & Quilt Fair.
After the meeting I went to the Town Hall to meet with Tony from the Historical Society regarding the Bicentennial Quilt which needs some TLC. The quilt was in good condition and needs minor repairs.
Annual Membership Fees
Membership fees are now due please see Jonquil with your payment if you are paying cash or you can EFT your $120 into HHQs bank account. A friendly reminder for all members to pay before 31st March.
2026 Quilt Show
To hold a Quilt Show we need your involvement and commitment so over the next couple of weeks we will be asking our members to volunteer your time and importantly to enter a “save the date” in your diary.
We are very fortunate to have Kathy and Grace who have agreed to design our Raffle quilts and will hold workshops on our Community days on 3rd April and 1st May.
Show Committee Meeting
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 13th March at 12:30pm. If you have already volunteered to be a coordinator please attend this meeting.
Craft & Quilt Fair
Will be held at the ICC on 25-28 June. We have been allocated a stall so we can show a small display of work plus hand out information about our group. Please keep the suggestions coming.
Retreat
We will be holding our Retreat this year in September at St Joseph’s Kincumber, so mark the dates in your diary Friday 5th till Sunday 7th September. Please see Narelle if you are interested in attending.
