Today was a busy Community Day at quilting. Grace organised our Wagga workshop like a well oiled machine, with clear instructions we divided into groups and we were off and running. It was amazing what was accomplished in one day. Thank you to everyone who helped out today.
Thursday May 1 is an important date for your diary - it is the day entries open for the 2025 Sydney Quilt Show. You will have until 5pm on Sunday 25th May to enter your quilts.

| Update on the Book marks made by Heather and Marie K |
Deb T purchased wadding for our baby quilts last week and the ladies wasted no time in cutting the wadding to the correct size. It is all stored in the cupboard ready for the baby quilt tops to be made.
