 Hi Everyone,

A smaller group today but our members were busy sewing with so many amazing projects being stitched.

70 Baby quilts were packed ready to be taken to Little Wonder @ RPA for the newborns in the NICU. Many thanks to our ladies who created these amazing baby quilts. This brings me to Christie’s “weekly baby quilt” it put a smile on all our faces. The emotions on the dogs faces is priceless.

Happy quilting, Sandy

 Hi Everyone,

Today we were able to welcome back some members who haven’t been able to meet with us for some time. It was wonderful to be able to have a catchup and see them in person.

Jenny S has completed a Bonnie Hunter designed quilt - 2021 challenge, for community. A truly amazing quilt Jenny! 

Two quilts from the Blue group were made for Community, one being colourful fish and the other black and white with colourful squares.

Carolyn came with 10 baby quilts to add to our collection for Little Wonder RPA. This week’s baby quilt from Christie were fish swimming between the seaweed.

This is the final week to pay Membership fees. Thank you to everyone who has already paid. 👏

 Hi Everyone,

We were grateful for the air conditioned hall at quilting today.

Sue D has been able to put us in contact with a Women’s Refuge in Taree who are happy to receive our community quilts made by our members. Hunters Hill Quilters today donated 9 quilts and 8 cot quilts so they can be given to women and children who require new living arrangements. Thank you Sue for taking care of the delivery for us.

Marie K showed her quilt top she made from material her son had purchased from a recent visit to Japan. The backing was just as impressive as the quilt top making it reversible, two quilts in one!

Christie presented her completed weekly baby quilt with a cute Koala print backing material.

🤔 Reminder about fees please pay before the end of the month.

Community Day

 Hi Everyone,

Firstly I would like to express my thanks to Judy for her amazing Presidency over the past 5 years. My transition into the role has been a smooth one owing to Judy’s time and detailed notes she provided. I would also like to thank Ros and Akiko who have willingly accepted to continue in their roles as Secretary and Treasurer. To the Committee and HHQ members thank you for your encouragement and support.

Today was a busy one with community quilts being stitched. Our Christmas Challenge was up on the design wall under the supervision of Iris and we look forward to its progress over the coming months.

A reminder that Membership Fees are now due. They can be paid directly to Akiko or you can EFT your payment.

 Hi Everyone,

We have had our AGM and we now have a new President! Sandy will do an outstanding job.

I have enjoyed the last 5 years with all its challenges. It has certainly been a most unusual time for us all but we seem to have come through pretty well. 

This will be my last Blog. Having to prepare it every week can become a chore but it is a good place to showcase our work.

Alison takes care of our Instagram posts and Iris looks after Facebook. It all works well.

Many of you make a special effort to attend the AGM. It was wonderful to see so many there. Laurel and Kathy were there. Unfortunately Beryl R. has had a fall and is quite unwell. Also we miss Carolyn who has been in hospital and also Marie G. who is also also unwell.

We hope to see them again very soon.

I was overwhelmed with my beautiful quilt given as a parting gift from you all. I just love it. Even Ian was amazed by it. Thank you all very much. It will be treasured.

Show and Tell:

Quilt from Marie K.  Robyn Jnst will take this one to her charity.

Sandy will be with you next week ......

 Hi Everyone,

We had a good roll up this week. The top table was absent again however. We miss them. Also Carolyn is not well. 

We did however have a surprise visit from Felicity. She looked well and enjoyed seeing everyone again.

Grace was busy collecting bits and pieces for her two "Wagga Show and Tell" talks later in the year.


Both Sue D and Laurel are planning on coming next week for the AGM. We look forward to seeing them.

Show and Tell:

Three quilts from Lindy this week.
