2nd May Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were visited by Krystiana from RizeUp who spoke to us about the ongoing and growing battle against domestic violence in Australia. RizeUp is responsible for the fit out of houses or units for people or families fleeing domestic violence by providing a welcoming home environment. Hunters Hill Quilters is supporting RizeUp at our upcoming Quilt Show in August. 

We were also able to supply Krystiana with 6 quilts and 3 knitted blankets for future homes.

Hi Everyone,

Today we were a busy group with a Wagga being assembled and another being tied. At Show & Tell we viewed some hats, a table runner, cards and bags to be sold at our Show. Iris has made 50 stunning cards which I have no doubt will sell fast, so get in early for your purchases.


Marie K has been named our ‘bag lady’ for the Show as she has completed another 7 bags and we cannot wait to set up the Stage Sales display a couple of weeks before the show to be photographed. The photos will be published on Facebook, Instagram and our Blog to entice you to join us at our biannual Quilt Show.

Hi Everyone,

A smaller number of people were at quilting today owing to Easter. This didn’t stop our members having a catch-up whilst sewing. We are all busy thinking and sewing for the show, so I am happy to report that Sheila completed a bag and Sue D made 2 hats  to be sold at the show.

🐣🐥🐰Wishing you all a happy Easter and safe travels if you are going away for the long weekend. 

Next week will be our Community Day and we are making daycare hats to sell at the show. If you are able to bring to the workshop your sewing machine and a mini iron it would be appreciated. Alison has prepared hats kits to be sewn.
