22nd January

Hi Everyone,

Today we had more ladies return to quilting from our break as we had to setup more tables and chairs throughout the morning. Welcome to Deb, Kerry and Courtney who came to HHQ today - it is always exciting to having new quilters joining our group.

I received a notice the other day regarding the Craft & Quilt Fair which will be held at the ICC Sydney Darling Harbour. The fair will be held on July 15 - 18, 2026 from 10am - 4pm. You can go to the website and purchase early bird tickets for the fair.

Annual General Meeting

Notice to all members our AGM will be held on Thursday 19th February at 12 noon. Please make sure you sign the attendance book or give your apologies to Suzie L if you cannot attend the AGM. 

The Executive Committee will be continuing in their roles for 2026 but we will need to discuss some matters at the AGM so we look forward to your input.

Show Committee Meeting

Our next show committee meeting will be held on 29th January at 1pm.

I have added all the Show Committee Meeting dates to the calendar below.

Show News

Thank you to all the ladies who are busy making items to sell at our show. 

Grace mentioned today that one of our Raffle quilts has been accepted into the Modern Quilt Show which will be held in March - well done ladies.

At our next Show meeting we will be looking at the conditions of entry form to make sure all the information is still relevant.

Christmas Challenge 

This year’s challenge is to make an 8.5”x 8.5” (to make a 8” x 8” block) square block in bright colours with white if it is in the design of your fabric. You can choose your own pattern/design anything is acceptable- appliqué, hand or machine stitch your block. Due back by 19th February.
