December Meeting 2018

It was so nice to see a full house this evening I do not think there were many members who did not attend, thank you for your support ladies.

We started with the AGM and then moved on to a varied display of ‘show and tell’ from our members.  We saw work from our Christmas Fun Day and from various workshops which have been held during the past year and a few personal items of work, all beautifully put together.

Below are items made at our Christmas Fun Day.

Below is a slide show or various items made at our workshops and independently by members.

We followed up the Show and Tell with a very interesting talk from the ‘Stop Domestic Abuse’  charity who came to collect a cheque for £1000 raised from the funds of our Raffle Quilt made this year.

September Meeting

This month we welcomed Greta Fitchett who showed us her colourful reflection quilts.

She explained to us how she constructs her quilts and where the ideas arise.

This beautiful quilt of the Cathedral was on display at The Festival of Quilts this year.
