June Meeting UFO

Today felt like the first day of winter so a good day to make quilts. Gail C handed out labels to sew on our baby quilts for the Royal Mothers Hospital and she will deliver them on July 26th.

We had Trish and Sandy visit us who had some fabrics to sell and for us to dream over. 

We had  13 members today which was lovely. We even had Di's  18 yr old granddaughter sewing with us today. Its great to see young people getting on board.

9 of us travelled to Warwick for a weekend retreat.  Leonie and Mal really looked after us, as usual. We sewed from daylight til late and had a great time.  Sheen , Margie and Peg even managed to find a snake.   Non poisonous lucky... a big carpet snake sunning himself near the path.  We all achieved a lot. I would encourage you all to come next year in May around this same time.  $275  ( Fri to Sunday) is all it costs..well worth it in a beautiful part of the world.
