21st August

Hi Everyone, 

Thank you to the ladies who braved the wet weather today. I think we are all sick of the rain. Although we were smaller in number we enjoyed our time together. 

Our Retreat at the North Ryde RSL is coming together with thanks to Narelle at the helm. We will be taking the orphan block box with us, however if you would like some inspiration feel free to delve deep into the box at quilting before the Retreat. I hope everyone replied if they will be attending the dinner on Tuesday night? If not please notify Narelle. Helen will also be leading us through a workshop and all the supplies, fabrics etc will be provided - a sewing machine is required for this project.

We all know the saying “you can’t stop a good woman” well Ann has finished a Wagga to be sold at our 2026 Quilt Show and said she is happy to make another one. Go for it Ann! If you would like to make a Wagga - Grace will be happy to advise and assist you.

Ann’s completed Wagga which will be for sale at our 2026 Quilt Show
