New Year, new project

 I finally got to a meeting having missed the last few for various reasons. It was great to be back with my quilting friends. Janice showed us how to make fabric chocolates, the perfect antidote to the excesses of the Festive Period! See meetings review for further details and ‘show & tell’ for some fantastic makes from our talented members. 

Fabric Christmas Crackers

  

There was a good turnout for the fabric Christmas Cracker making evening. I lead the session and had positive feedback from the group.  I was delighted that people could understand my instructions and many ladies actually managed to complete their own cracker! There were lots of interesting’Show & Tell’ items including possible workshop projects. A good evening all round. 

Quilting Retreat

 A small group of members met up at the Quilting Retreat. All were happy to have the opportunity to make progress on their projects. We look forward to seeing the finished pieces. 

AGM & last Meeting of our Year

 It’s been a very good year with lots of variety and lots to learn & share. It’s great that so many new members have joined us and I’m really enjoying getting to know everyone, learning hints & tips and sharing ideas. Check out the meetings review and Show and Tell for further details.

 We all enjoyed a wonderful evening with Gina Smith talking about her amazing textile art and what inspires her beautiful pieces of work. Check out the meetings review for more details, but here are a few photos of her clever and atmospheric pieces of art. 

Quilting Retreat 29th April 2023

 I nearly forgot to mention WRQ quilting retreat on Saturday 29th April! Folks can work on quilts for care leavers or bring along their own project to work on. Contact any committee member if you’re interested, there are still a couple of places. Look forward to seeing you there - St Chads Church hall. 

Quilts for Care Leavers (Q4CL)

 What a wonderful talk from Maggie Lloyd-Jones founder of Q4CL. We were all moved by her talk and inspired by her enthusiasm. Check out the meeting review for more details.
