22nd August

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were able to thank Robyn Jo. who not only made items to sell at our show but donated her commission to our Charity RizeUp. Thank you for your generosity Robyn. 

I would like all of our members to start thinking about taking on a coordinating job for our 2026 Quilt Show. Although we don’t finalise these positions until February 2025 we need members to start asking questions and find out what is required of them. Come and talk to me and I will do my best to help with information you will need to know as all positions are available. Grace has offered to coordinate Waggas.

Narelle sent out an email on Monday regarding our Retreat please contact her if you didn’t receive it. Don’t forget to check your Spam file.

Hi Everyone,

Today was another busy day at quilting with the challenge on what orphan blocks we will be sewing together at our Retreat in 3 weeks time. Sue D has taken the box of  Liberty fabrics and blocks which we received as a donation and will surprise us with her design to make a quilt for Community.

A couple of weeks ago Ann went on a knitting retreat and won the challenge for the Fingerless Mitten Competition. Well done Ann - are you taking orders?
