A Very Busy Time

I have been inundated with pictures and information about quilting activities so I apologize if everything I have been given does not appear. It would make this blog very long. They have come from all directions.

These photos are from Tuesday 8th March. We had the pleasure of welcoming three members to our group, so a great welcome to you all.

Lynne had brought "Show and Tell" and had a selection of bags which she had made. One in particular was earmarked for a future workshop. It was a great little bag which would hold a phone and purse whilst going for a walk. All bags were beautifully made and very professional, well done

This last week 10 members attended the retreat in Gisborne. It was a very sought after event and was filled very quickly. Ann Mc is the coordinator of retreats so look out for her future emails if you wish to attend the next one in August.

I have heard that everyone had a great time. I haven't had that many sewing photos, so I am not sure how much sewing happened. I heard stories of lots of laughter, smiling faces and relaxation. A few nanna naps, and heaps of chatter, even a visit to Kerri at Black Forest Quilting. They accepted two visitors who also attended for the day. A thanks passed on to me by many members was to extend a huge thank you to Ann Mc for her organisation and a fun week end.

The design wall was a great help to arrange the pieces in these quilts. Well done ladies.

OUT and ABOUT

Our friends at Saturday Sit and Sew managed to get out too, fitting in a bit of shopping and a night away to do some sewing.

Sorry about the length but a quick reminder Mary is showing us her method of Quilt As You Go next week so bring along the requirements if you wish to take part otherwise come along and watch or do your thing.

Hope to see you next week.
