A chilly Bank Holiday Monday but an excellent turnout of members this evening.
Our speaker this evening was Fiona Bell who gave a very interesting and inspiring talk on design and colour matching. Fiona shared her knowledge with us and gave an excellent slide show.
Our show and Tell this evening was brief as Jenny was our only member who brought us something- and how beautiful it is. Many thanks Jenny
A great turn out on this very wet and windy evening, Thank you to all who made the effort to attend.
We started with a show and tell and we viewed some beautiful work from not only our established members but also many items from our new members, thank you.
  Chris showed us her creative qualities learnt on her recent holiday in Barbados
A Beautiful quilt prompted by the Kaffe Fassett exhibition at Mottisfont last year
Followed by an industrious evening making project boards
Catherine Lawes was our speaker this evening. Catherine is a Textile Artist from New Zealand. Catherine showed us many pieces of her work which have been inspired by her time spent in New Zealand. Catherine also modeled for us some interesting coats that she has made.
This evening we started by presenting cheques to our chosen charities with proceeds from last year’s quilt show.
We then had a very informative talk from Steve Moore from Stitchagain. Steve went through the common problems he encounters from sewists when repairing sewing machines and gave us some hints and tips on how to avoid some of these problems occurring.
