October 2015: Madness

I can honestly say, I just don't know where the two hours went tonight.  The evening was very busy - we had extra tables tonight, and many, many extra people!!  The room was alight with lots of chatting and laughter - just as a quilting group should be.  Much discussion took place about our forthcoming (Feb 16) Block of the Month activity - with fabric selected for samples to be made by the committee members.  Communication quilts were discusses for the forthcoming (Mar 16) Town Twinning Exhibition.

We had a little fund raising within the group.   We set up the items made a few months back, for group members to purchase for Christmas gifts.  A very generous offer from our local bee keeper quilter - selling her bumper harvest of honey -of a kind donation of 10% per jar sold - every little helps!!

 

We were shown the results of the Mary Gamester workshop from one member of the group.

   

We played with the black and white blocks and made three stunning quilts.  The will be put together and quilted.

  

And of course the evening would not be complete without the variety of personal projects the members work on when not at the meetings.

 

 

 

Christmas projects are already on the go for some members.

 

And the group is preparing for the Christmas projects starting next month - remember to dig out that Christmas fabric!

Next months meeting will be November 5th - stay warm and join us!
