17th July

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were busy with various projects, sorting out cupboards and fabrics for Waggas. It is a joyous occasion when we can welcome back members who have been unable to attend quilting over the past few weeks. To Vita who came to check us out today and volunteered herself to help with the Wagga fabric sorting, welcome to Hunters Hill Quilters.

The hand quilting of our Raffle quilt has been completed and we are now up to the selection of choosing the binding fabric. Great work ladies. Don’t forget to add your name choice for our Raffle quilts to the list and next week we will be holding our Quilt Show meeting at 1pm.

Alison has busy creating a draw string bag to sell at our show next year. Could this be our next workshop?
