20th April

 Hi Everyone,

What a morning we had being locked out of the hall only to find out a flat battery was the cause! Thank you for being so understanding and waiting in the rain for the hall to be opened by Council.

Show Committee Meeting is next Thursday 27th April at 1:30pm

There are a few positions vacant on the Show Committee if you are interested in taking up a role please come and join us. This is a rewarding opportunity, as our Quilt Show is a time to showcase our quilting skills, raise money for charity and connecting with our local community. Please remember to submit your suggestions for a Judge and a Charity in writing to Alison or myself.

Show & Tell

Jenny completed two quilts for Community - one from a lockdown challenge and the other was made from Jenny’s collection of 2.5 inch squares. Dawn made a cheerful blue and yellow baby quilt.  Our 2022 Christmas Challenge quilt was completed by Iris who selected the quilt design for us to complete over the holiday break. It is amazing what you can do with a jelly roll that was gifted to us, thanks Sybil.

 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.

 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.
