Unfortunately I missed our last meeting as we were on holiday but Myra has reported that everyone enjoyed the 'Talking Quilts' Evening.

Members brought along one of their quilts that had a special personal significance for  them. They talked about their quilting journey and the relevance of the piece of work they had chosen to bring along. It was a very successful format and one which I hope we can repeat another time. A good evening for our two visitors who I hope will have enjoyed it enough to join us again soon.

We have now given the proceeds from the May exhibition to our two chosen charities. Myself, Emma and her two children went along to York Hospital Special Care Baby Unit to present the cheque. Arthur seemed non too impressed to be back on the unit where he spent his first two months of life, but I hope the money we raised will help others in similar circumstances.

Next meeting Gina Smith will be giving us a talk about her work. As well as being a member of White Rose Quilters Gina is also an embroiderer and textile artist and a member of the Group
Diverse Threads. I am sure it will be an interesting evening.
