Hi Everyone,

We have had a busy week with our 2 day Retreat and quilting today at Fairland Hall. Our Retreat was a great success and we spent 2 fun filled days sewing at North Ryde RSL. Helen taught us how to make an accordion purse and a knitting/ crocheting bag which we will be selling at our 2026 Quilt show. Over the two days Grace whipped up a Wagga and Suzie’s sewing machine decided enough was enough and let out a huge puff of smoke. The hand sewing table was busy with butterflies, bindings and hexagons. While others wrestled with their annual retreat quilt - sorry Iris but we all enjoyed our sewing and the fabulous company. A huge Thank You to Narelle who organised the Retreat and I am looking forward to next year’s retreat.

4th September Community Day

Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to a new month and a new season - Spring. It is wonderful to see the flowers blooming and the trees showing their new foliage colour - it makes you want to go out and buy some fabric to start a new project. It was wonderful seeing so many ladies at quilting today who were busy working on Community quilts. The design wall was well used as two quilts were up and blocks being changed where needed.

2 Community quilts on the design wall

Another colourful Community quilt in the making

September is HHQ birthday month so don’t forget to come and celebrate with us on 25th September.

🥳 Happy Birthday to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in September 🥳. I hope you enjoy your special day.
