The Hunters Hill Quilters: November 2025

27th November

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting was another productive day with our members working on their individual and group projects. There was plenty of conversations and laughter heard during our time together. I feel that our group could solve many problems that we face with day to day life.

I am sorry to hear that one of our members had a large tree limb crash onto her roof owing to Wednesdays storm and that the damage and mess has been cleared.

Our Christmas party is next week so I look forward to seeing as many members attending for some fun and games.

This quilt was made by Beryl some years ago but it was wonderful to see it again today

Christmas Party

Our Christmas Party will be held next week on Thursday 4th December and all members are welcome to attend. Please bring a plate of food to share, a plate for your own lunch and a glass for the Christmas cheer. It takes approximately half an hour to set up and organise tables and chairs for the lunch, so no pressure to arrive at 10 or you can make your grand entrance from 10:30am.

Community

Deb has organised the next batch of Baby quilts to be delivered for Little Wonder @ RPA for their Christmas packs. Thank you to the ladies who helped with this task.

20th November

Hi Everyone,

Today I was feeling up to attending quilting and was happy to be back. We are heading to the end of our year so just a few reminders - next week 27th will be our last sewing day at the hall. Suggestions have been made regarding our Christmas Challenge so full details will be handed out over the next couple of weeks.

It always amazes me what our members achieve and today marks a special mile stone for Carolyn who has made 800 baby quilts over the years we have been providing them for the NICU babies at Westmead and RPA. Thank you Carolyn for such an outstanding achievement on behalf of our group.

Carolyn made 10 Baby quilts

13th November

Hi Everyone,

Although I wasn’t at quilting today my trusty VP visited me and gave me all the gossip. Don’t forget to put our Christmas Party in your diary - it is always a fun time at quilting.

Helen has been busy with embroidering her granddaughter’s shoes which she ensures us is easy to do.

As per usual the ladies were busy sewing.

6th November Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Today was Community Day at quilting and all the ladies were very industrious in their groups making community quilts all at different stages of construction. It never ceases to amaze me of the talent and creativity of our members and how the quilts come together. I remembered to take some photos today but not all of them - sorry!
