24th August

Hi Everyone,

At quilting today we were warmed by the sun shining through our windows which made our sewing tasks enjoyable with plenty of conversation.

If you wish to attend our mid week retreat in September please inform Narelle as she would like to finalise the numbers of people and the cost for us to pay. However if you are unable to attend both days we can accommodate by you telling us which day you will be attending. Narelle will work out a discounted price for you. We would love to see as many members attend as it is a fun time to socialise, sew and have a laugh at the silly games we play.

Thank you to all the ladies who have been busy making Baby quilts for Little Wonder @ RPA - we have filled the required number of quilts for Father’s Day. Now we are focusing on World Prematurity Day - 17th November, and we ask that each quilt has a touch of purple in it.
