Quilts of Love

At January our meeting we made "Quilts of Love" to be donated to hospitals for at risk and  very ill babies. We all enjoyed the day although there were only a few who attended this meeting. 

Remember new members are welcome.

Christmas Party and Show and Tell

Hello Everyone 


The blog has been a bit quiet lately too many things to do and people to look after.

Christmas is almost upon us. A time for sharing  and meeting together and remembering how lucky we are that we have the opportunity to patch and quilt and chat with friends from all walks of life. 

I am hoping that all of our members past and present can join us at the Victoria Hotel Goondiwindi on the 28th November  for  our Christmas party and our show and tell. Bring a friend if you like. 
We need some new members. I think it is a 6.30 start but check that with Gail. Everyone pays for their own meal and drinks.

The recycled challenge and our embroidery challenge will be on show so could all members bring them along.  In fact if anyone has a little something special they have made or found bring it along also.

Remember that beautiful little pincushion that Chris bought along to our pin cushion day ...what a treasure.


When I began my quilting journey I never expected to become so captivated by the craft .  I also never expected to make such lovely friends. So bring someone along and get them hooked. 


See you there!
