New Committee and Technique nights continue

 Recently we held our Annual General Meeting at which all positions were deemed vacant. A bit of shuffling and interest by newer members and all the positions were filled.

President - Bryony De La Motte

Vice President - Christine Ashley

Treasurer - Chris Gillespie

Secretary - Di Challen

Committee - Monika McKinlay, Cassandra Philpot, Amanda Pratt and Narell Smit


During our meeting, we have Show and Tell, we display the recent Blocks of the Month, we get news of club doings and discuss future activities and then we have supper with a cuppa and have a chat.

On the second Friday of the month, we generally have a Technique Night. This time Cassandra gave a demonstration of measuring, cutting, pinning and sewing on borders so that they lay flat. She also demonstrated her method of adding measured mitred corner borders. She also showed how she makes her hanging sleeve, which will be required on all quilts going into the various shows coming up.

If you would like to join an active group of quilters to share your skills and enjoy social occasions, come along to the club on any Friday night or on the second or fourth Thursday morning of the month.
