Busy May

There is a slightly more optimistic mood about, local travel has been allowed, small groups can get together, outdoor activities are on and back at our members' houses lots of quilts are being made. The group has been keeping in touch via Skype and Zoom, the ordinary business of preparing for a new Exhibition has started and our next committee meeting will happen next week.

The possibility of having a retreat after all this year is enticing. We so enjoy the high altitude, fresh air and good food at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa that it would be nice to go there again in a few months. 

The new Exhibition date has been set for the 17th and 18th April 2021. Please put it in your diaries and come along to see what work we've produced. If you want to exhibit yourself, do join up and enjoy the exciting times ahead as we gear up. 

Not too long now till we have the next AGM - end of July. All positions are declared vacant so think about putting your hand up for one of the positions.

I hope you all have a lovely week and enjoy the last autumn days with leaves blowing everywhere in the wind.

Current activity in our community

During this pandemic we have relinquished all access to the premises we rent and are relying on phone, Skype, Zoom and chats over the fence to keep in touch with each other. Now that the raffle is over, we can concentrate on making a few blocks for a sampler quilt for ourselves or for the club. This time round we are using the colours black, white and aqua in our gift blocks and in time, when we can get together again and see what has been made, we will divide them up into their respective quilts. There is quite a colour variation across the samples seen so far. http://queanbeyanquilters.blogspot.com/p/stay-at-home-block_2.html

The blocks are coming out about once a fortnight, when we do a bit of an online catchup, see what has been made and have a chance to see each other on screen. So far, three blocks have come out. Another one will come out this Friday night, the 8th May. Want to join us? Sign up to become a member, valid from now until end of June 2021.

In a separate tab, you can see some of the blocks that have been made. See link above.
