26th March


Hi Everyone,

Can you believe this is the last week of March - where does the month go! Hand sewing was the main activity today at quilting and it is exciting seeing projects develop and grow. Christie has made bibs for our show and they are stunning - all are Australian themed. If you have the need for a cute Bilby or Cockatoo or a Kangaroo with her Joey bib these are ideal gifts especially for a little one living overseas.

Next week is Community Day and we will be organising Raffle Tickets for our members to sell. If you would like to help with the recording of tickets, writing on envelopes to help please see Grace or Sandy.

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

Show & Tell

19th February

Hi Everyone, 

Today at quilting we welcomed back Jane who had surgery and Kathy who has been teaching in the US. Deb U continued with the 5” squares rolling them into bundles and organising storage containers. After a bit of fabric sorting the cupboards are now looking neat and well organised making room for more Stage Sale items to be stored. Heather continues to make amazing bags to hold all your sewing essentials to be sold at our Quilt Show.
Please remember to pay your membership fees before the 31st March. A receipt will be emailed to you when you have paid.
Kathy’s new fabric range is called Camouflage and today she was embroidering a panel that compliments her fabric range.

12th March

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we stepped out of our comfort zone and changed the arrangement of the tables. No need for anyone to panic as we all sat next to our quilting buddies so there wasn’t a total meltdown. There was plenty of great conversation at every table and I think we can call it a successful day.
Narelle had a busy week cutting and bundling 5” square plus making a lipstick holder keychains to be sold at our Quilt Show.
This weekend is the Modern Quilt Show to be held at Petersham Town Hall 107 Crystal St Petersham 10am - 4:30pm $15 entry. Dates 13th -15th March.

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

Show & Tell

Carolyn made 10 Baby quilts

Marie made this quilt to replace the one her Grandson asked to take as a present to the UK - no greater love does a grandmother have for her grandson.

26th February

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting our members were busy stitching, cutting fabric or hand tying a Wagga - it was another productive day. We also decided on the gift for our show judge which will be presented to Deputy Mayor Julia Prieston on Thursday 20th August. Thank you to all the ladies who helped with the making of this gift and to Kerry undertaking sewing all the blocks together.
The Quilt Show is getting closer and just a reminder that you will receive a book of Raffle tickets to sell, a commitment from members to add your name to the Rosters and the making of delectable Food for the Kitchen. Further details to follow.
Blue Mountains Quilters are holding their 2026 show on 17th - 19th April at Wycliffe Christian School, 133 Rickard Road, Warrimoo. If any members are interested in attending we should organise a train journey to the show or we could car pool? Come and see me at quilting and we could start up a list.

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