Our big news this year is that we are going to host a Quilt Show in May. We will be displaying quilts, cushions and bags made by our members. We will also be displaying our 'Arboretum of Tree Mini Quilts' in celebration of the Queens Diamond Jubilee. 

Save the Dates - Friday 27th & Saturday 28th May

Welcome back to 'live' meetings, at long last!

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well during this Covid year. I really have no excuse for being behind in posting on the Show & Tell page but I am gradually updating it with Block of the Month photos. Once I've got these up to date, I'll post some of the other photos of quilts, blocks and items made during our year of lockdown.

BOM

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all safe & well & enjoying your various sewing projects. I have completed the BOM - take a look at it on the Show & Tell page. If you would like to share yours, please email me a photo of it (or any other project) to  sheltonjill1@gmail.com & I will post it.

How to post a comment

Hi Everyone,

It seems that posting a comment is not as simple as it seems! Here is a guide to posting:

1. log on to https://whiterosequilters.blogspot.com
2. at the end of the Blog, click on 'comments' (this may vary according to the device you use - there may be 'post your comment' or a box saying 'enter your comment') If none of these are visible, click on ‘no comments’ (mad I know!) 
3. Type in comment
4. you will be asked to log on to or create a Google account. 
5. your post will not appear immediately, it has to be approved by the Blog administrators

If this all seems too complicated, you could always email me your comments & I will post for you.
It would be nice to use the Blog as an interactive way to keep in touch & share information.

Lockdown Greetings

Hello White Rose Quilters.
I hope that everyone & their families are well during lockdown & that you are enjoying the unexpected extra time to get on with new or unfinished projects - I can’t wait to see what everyone has been up to!
The Committee has been catapulted into the digital age by the pandemic & we have had a couple of ‘Zoom’ meetings! We thought that the Blog might be a good way to keep in touch & share what we have been doing during lockdown. If we comment on the posts we can have a digital chat! Through our comments, we can share news, hints & tips, have ‘show & tell’, ask for advice etc. What do you think?
Lis has kindly (and patiently!) talked me through how to post on her Blog so here I am with my first post. Please enter your comments in 'Post a Comment' below the post. IF that box does not appear (it did on the preview but not when I posted!!) then click the 'no comments' box (I know, that doesn't make sense to me either!) & it should magically appear!

Last, but certainly not least, congratulations go to Lis who has won The Quilters Guild, Sue Ridgewell Challenge, with her fantastic quilt 'Golden Eagle'. This year's Conference was due to be held in Stirling and entrants had to create a wall hanging inspired by the title 'Celebrating Scotland'.

BAD
The country is in lock down and all White Rose Quilters meetings have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
GOOD
All White Rose members will have an unexpected bonus of  time to indulge in their hobby.
BAD
We will not be able to get together regularly and share ideas, tips, and general chit chat.
GOOD
As everyone usually has more material in their stash than they need for their current project, I am expecting lots of items for Show and Tell when we can  safely meet again.

HAPPY SEWING
