We had a lovely day celebrating Christmas in July at Riddells Creek Hotel, thanks to Judy and Marlene for all their work. Also thanks to Glo and Evelyn for lots of fun with the exhibiting of the Christmas Elves challenge items and games. The ladies excelled themselves with the Leadlight projects.
The Chinese Whispers blocks are going well and we are now just over halfway through the challenge. New members don’t hesitate to ask someone if you are having trouble with your blocks.
Our library is growing steadily with some new additions, thanks to Glo for her continuing work.
The Quilt Exhibition is coming up in June and the committee will have their first meeting in October, to get things underway.
The Charity Quilt for the raffle at the Exhibition has been donated by Rosie. It is a beautiful quilt and has already been started. We will require members to participate by making blocks, appliquéing etc. These will be distributed soon.
The first Free Motion Quilting Class with Sherrie Jewson will be on Saturday 17th September. There are a few spaces left, so if you are interested contact Jan, the cost is $30, bring your own lunch and a plate to share for a cuppa. There will be a second class on 7th October for those who are unable to get to the first one. There will be another more advanced class on November 5th. Keep tuned for the details or contact Jan.
Next Tuesday evening 20th September we will be having a “Westalee” Rulers demonstration. All welcome and feel free to bring a friend. Cost will be the usual $3 and starting at 6:30 pm. Bring along a small plate for supper.
Jan is organizing the Bus Trip for Saturday the 22nd October. Please let her know if you are interested and make your payment to Esmae. The cost will be approximately $46 including lunch. Ask a friend to come along.
The Christmas breakup is booked for the 6th December at the Gamekeepers Secret Inn on Melton Highway at 6:30pm.
We will be having some beginners classes starting in a couple of weeks the first will be “needle turn appliqué”. Anyone wishing to take part in this, bring along a small project such as a flower or simple animal, so that we can get you started on Tuesday 27th September.
We have decided to make an SS&Q wall hanging using quilt as you go hexagons or squares this can be displayed at the quilt exhibition and any other functions. Annie and Lyn are looking after this project and will advise when they have worked out the details. All present members will be asked to make a small block of a size to be decided and embroider their name and date they joined the group and any other decoration the want to “pretty up” their piece.
I hope I haven’t forgotten anything, but you are probably sick of me by now, so until next time.
Diane Hutchinson
President.
