11th September

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.
