22nd May

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to all the ladies who attended quilting today and I hope you made it back to your homes safely and to the rest of our members please stay warm and dry. Although we were unable to see our fabulous water views owing to the torrential rains the group was industrious as ever with the pinning of a quilt, working on the colour gradient of a community quilt and the continuation of our Raffle quilt.

I will be sending out to all our members on our WhatsApp group information regarding the charities that have been suggested for HHQ to support with funds from our 2026 Quilt Show. The Show Committee wants all our members to have a say so please read the information so we can vote next week at quilting. If you cannot attend next week you can contact Grace or myself with your preference.
