The April Meeting of White Rose Quilters had us all making tool caddies that fit onto a mug, a very handy accessory for any quilter going to a workshop. Not only does it hold all your sewing essentials but you also have the mug for your favourite beverage.
Moira did a great job of teaching us how to make these handy caddies which look quite complicated but were surprisingly easy to put together with the right tuition. (See the photo in the meetings review section.)

May has seen a change to the published programme. Everyone seems to be progressing well with their sew-a-row quilts without needing any extra help at the meeting, so we thought we would spend the evening exploring miniature quilts instead.

We have sent off to the Quilters Guild for the handbag collection of miniature quilts so we will be examining these closely and then having a go paper piecing with 1/4 inch hexagons. I think it will be a technique you love or something you hate. We will see!
