5th March - Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to a new season and I am looking forward to cooler days and nights although today still felt like summer. We are all systems go in preparation for our Quilt Show and today was no exception with a group cutting 5” squares to make fabric bundles. Other groups continued working on quilts for Community, finding fabric for quilt backs and sorting through our vast collection of fabrics.
If you are looking at attending a workshop can I make a suggestion:
Chris Jurd - Foundation Piecing 10am - 2pm at Material Obsession, Saturday classes 28th March, 20 June and 10th October - Cost $70 per class.
Kathy D - AppliquΓ© 10am - 2pm at Material Obsession, Friday & Saturday classes 15th -16th May and 20th - 21st November - Cost $70 per class.

πŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday πŸŽ‰ to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in March - wishing you many happy returns for your special day.

πŸ€‘πŸ€‘2026 Membership fees are now due please pay $120 before 31st March πŸ€‘πŸ€‘
