The size of our group has changed dramatically this year, we now have approaching 30 members. We are feeling a little cramped in our current room and have asked if there is a larger one available for use. This is a good problem to have as we appear to be a popular group.
This month we had a demonstration on QAYG (quilt as you go) methods, one using sashing and the other without sashing. Click here for instructions.

| QAYG samples with and without sashing |
A couple of members decided to have a go after the demo.
Most members decided to work on their own projects and try QAYG at home.
There were some previously demonstrated techniques being worked on.
