Quilt connoisseurs missed out if they were not at show and tell today as there were three quite spectacular quilts - and all very different. We also had the basic patchwork class in session with a laced star pattern that was not very basic! It was meeting day again with plans well on track for the Quilt Fair on July 1-2. There were visitors and a prospective new member as well. Welcome Delma. Visitor Heather won the monthly raffle and Lynn won the badge draw.

| Participants are still smiling despite the difficult pattern today. |
 |
| Faye has just got her candlewicked quilt back from Malanda Quilting. Unfortunately, candlewicked quilts are the hardest quilts in the world to photograph and the exquisite stitching and quilting is lost at this distance. |
 |
| A much better indication of the candlewicking. Faye only ever works on the candlewicking on Wednesday mornings and so it has taken her a few years to finish enough blocks for a quilt. |
 |
| There are 60 hours of heirloom quilting in this quilt. |
 |
| Linda has just finished this quilt for a niece getting married in October. (She has a lot of things coming up so she had to quilt when she had the time.) A beautiful "something blue" for a wedding. |
 |
| Margaret has finished this masterpiece, "Joy", just in time for her daughter's birthday tomorrow. The centre was a pack of Hoffmann fabrics and is paper pieced from a pattern by Jacqueline de Jonge. Margaret has quilted it entirely by hand. |
 |
| Di used her winning BomB blocks from last week to piece a tablecloth. Her smart thinking meant she didn't have to construct any extra blocks! |

 |
| And the lucky winner was Heather, friend of Marlena and Pip. Marlena and Pip have kindly suggested they will take her to Needleworx and help her spend the voucher before she has to return home! |
