14th March

Hi Everyone,

Today we were able to see the completed bags which will be sold at our Show - they look amazing well done ladies!

We were grateful for the installation of a new air conditioning unit in the hall today so we now have 2 working units. Thanks to Hunters Hill Council who organised the works to be completed before we started our quilting today.

I have forgotten to wish a Happy Birthday to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in March 🎂. I hope you enjoy your special day.

Hi Everyone,

Today was our Bunting voting day and bag making workshop. All I can say is thank you to everyone who participated in the Bunting challenge and once again I am amazed at the variety produced by our members. The Bunting will be sold at our Quilt Show in August.

The bag making workshop had us all busy and we were able to sew the seven kits prepared by Suzie L, Deb T and Alison. Special thanks to our “supervisor” Marie K who kept us on the straight and narrow as an expert in making the bags.

Bunting

Hi Everyone,

Another hot day and we were very grateful for the air conditioned hall. Christie and Jenny finished their completed table runners for the show. Ann was busy working on a quilt for community made out of blue and white hexagons. We were smaller in number but very productive with busy hands.

I handed out 2024 Diary Dates today and will make sure each member receives a copy.

Alison will update everyone on our Quilt Show news next week as we are waiting for an issue to be resolved from council. Stay tuned!!
