Wednesday 15 February 2017

There were less than 20 ladies who braved the steamy conditions and the threat of thunderstorms to come out to the hall to the meeting today. It started to rain just prior to 12 o'clock and so a few ladies must have driven home in some heavy rain. Flash flooding began around 1:30 so great timing for patchworkers really! (Some ladies were going in to town for lunch - maybe they are still there!)
Marilyn conducted the announcements and show and tell before morning tea today in an effort to curb the dashing off as soon as show and tell is over. 
Phillipa brought in a lot of books and magazines today to go to a new home. One of the books was a Sarah Fielke book that Robyn is currently using for an applique pattern and she thought her book had accidentally got in the give away pile!
Our Quilts Connect entry needs to be finalised by next week, so if you have a quilt to show, please bring it in.
Julie won Badge Draw today. The current prizes are Mackay Sewing Centre $10 vouchers.


This is a Missouri Star Quilt Company pattern called Floating Hexagons. Di used some fabric she was given for her birthday for the background and borders and the red came from Heather's stash.

Kaye will have the binding on this before she leaves on holidays. There are some colourful scraps in this Braid Quilt. And if anyone would like to do one of their own, Kaye has heaps of scraps left over.
