September Meeting 2013

Sorry the blog editor has only just managed to update the blog from last months meeting.

It was a horrible stormy night and there weren't a lot of members who ventured out.

I must say the drive home for me was a little hair raising as I live way out in the bush.

This months committee challenge was quilts using fabric/embroidery.

Sheryle brought a Leanne's House quilt with embroidery.

Eastern Promise Workshop with Anna Williams

This weekend we had Anna Williams come and teach us her Eastern Promise class.

It was 2 days of great instruction and fun techniques.

There were eight ladies in the class and I am sure I speak for all

of them when I say it was a very good weekend and we all produced some

lovely work.  I look forward to seeing them all completed.
