29th January

Hi Everyone,

Another fabulous day at quilting today with plenty of chatter and laughter to be heard around the hall. The design wall was up and Iris was brave placing the blocks that Jenny, Robyn S  have been making with her. I think I heard only 40 more blocks each to make!!
Please note the change of venue for the Modern Quilt Show which will now be held at the Petersham Town Hall. All the details are listed below.
Next week will be our first Community Day at quilting and I am looking forward to seeing all the projects continuing to completion.
Don’t forget to check out our group on Facebook and Instagram.

Annual General Meeting

HHQ Quilt Show 2026

Hunters Hill Quilters are having their biennial quilt show on August 14th to August 17th 2026 at Hunters Hill Town Hall. Apart from a display of beautiful quilts made by members, there will be a display of Waggas, handcrafted items and quilts for sale and our very popular cafe serving homemade cakes and sandwiches. Two hand sewn quilts will also be raffled.

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.
