October meeting and other matters

 Firstly, it's great to have you come to read our occasional blog and see what we are doing. A little earlier, we had our Annual General Meeting and changed up the Committee a little.

President:  Bryony De La Motte

Vice President: Liz Hendrickson

Treasurer:  Marianne Haslam

Secretary:  Chris Gillespie

Ordinary Committee Members: Monika McKinlay, Cassandra Philpot, Amanda Pratt, Narell Smit

The club is in good shape and there are many ideas for activities into the future. The membership is very involved in the running of the club, from the way meetings are run to the way the Exhibition happens. Fortunately that is only every two years so there is plenty of recovery time.


Meanwhile, at the October meeting there was a special guest who brought a sampling of her beautiful batik fabrics. Elaine White from Treasured Textiles is always getting in new stock to augment her attractive collection so it was great to see her.



Narell has been demonstrating a simple and effective quilt method and several have now been made by the group. Here are some of the quilts shown at the meeting.
And lastly, some of the blocks from the very last Block of the Month in Red, White and Black that has been running since August 2021. Members could choose to keep their blocks to make their own quilt or donate them to the club. Once they are all done, t
hey will be used to make gift quilts for our vigorous Gift Quilt Program.
