Trip Around the World with Ann Herrick

The May workshop was held on the 12th May.

It was great to get the cut out instructions in advance
so we could spend the day sewing.

The sewing wasn't quite complete at the end of the day

so Ann demonstrated how to put the blocks together.

Thanks to Ann Herrick for a great day. 

Thankyou to Denise for keeping us fed and watered.

Motor Neurone Disease

At the meeting for April, we had a visit from Ngaire Martin & Miria Bailey.

These ladies are from the Massey Quilt Group.

Ngaire has Motor Neurone Disease and has lost her voice and her 

ability to eat solid food. 

Miria came along to tell us Ngaire's story.

Ngaire made this quilt to raffle.  The proceeds are going to

the Motor Neurone Disease Association
