First Meeting for 2017

We had a good turnout of members for our first meeting in 2017 and there are lots of exciting adventures planned! We must first welcome some new members, Janette and Maree.  We hope they enjoy their experience with us.

As mentioned in a previous post we are moving more into the digital world and will not be producing the old newspaper format.  Instead find the information you need here on the BLOG and in the regular emails that various members will be sending out.  There was a lot of duplication in sending out information so this should be more efficient.

Sheila's prompt sending of minutes after each monthly meetings is very helpful. particularly if you cannot get to the Tuesday night gathering.

Some Show and Tell photos from our first meeting-

Di always has an interesting quilt to share with us.  It's amazing how effective the colour and placement of the drunkards path block is in this rendition!  Beautiful fabric on the back.





Gail can be proud of her cushion cover featuring the cathedral window technique taught by Zoe Clifton last year.



I have watched Sheila work diligently on these small stitchery blocks and here is the amazing finished project ready to display on the wall!




And finally 19 small baby quilts made by Evelyn for the Sunshine Hospital.  Some of the little quilts feature blocks made by our friend Joy who has sadly passed away.  It is lovely to see her work used in this way.





Do you need a valentine project to occupy your time.  I thought this heart pattern was easy and quick to produce-

Happy Sewing.  Glo x
