So........Sorry.............  apparently I have made a blue with the last post. 

In  our April Newsletter Christine  was down to do coat hangers in July and we were to finish our Stars in June. Sorry for any inconvenience.  Hope to see you all there Sunday. Bring show and tell from Stacey's retreat.

24th June Meeting "Coat Hangers"

At our next meeting we are making these lovely coat hangers Christine Spink is going to teach this lesson.  She has asked me to post this for you all to see. 

Large Coat Hanger 

     1  x  Wooden coat hanger

     1  x  Fat Quarter or 20cms fabric

     Iron pelon wadding

     Extra wadding to wrap around coat hanger

     60 cms  x  1 inch bias binding to match fabric

     Ribbon for bow and plastic tubing to cover the hook.

     If  you want to embroider or applique, you can pick up a paper 

     template from Marg at Cottage Treasures.

      

See you there bring and bring a friend if you know someone who loves to patchwork and sew.

How extreme are you ????

Weekend at Stacey's

18 ladies spent the weekend sewing and chatting in the beautiful surrounds of Stacey's at the Gap.  This beautiful retreat is nestled at the top of Cunningham's Gap, you could hear the bell birds, see the kangaroos and feel the chill of the mountain top, especially Sunday morning. Leonie and Mal looked after us all weekend.  Leonie presented us with some beautiful food while Mal stoked the fire and kept the coffee hot.   Mal even carried our things to and from the car.  We were really well looked after. So many projects were finished PHD's UFO's and WHISP's.  There was a range of beautiful quilts and stitcheries. We have set a date for the same time next year. Places are limited and many ladies have booked again  there are 5 or 6 places left so get in early with your deposit if you would like to go in 2013.
