Today at quilting was Community Day and our members were busy with quilts or waggas. We received 5 quilts from a former member of our group Pamela who still enjoys making quilts for us to donate to the charities that we support. Grace quilted all five quilts for Pamela.
On a sad note I was informed this week of the passing of Val Nelson who was a member of Hunters Hill Quilters from 1999 - 2017. Her daughter Felicity told me she passed away peacefully. RIP Val.
