A Short Update and an apology!

 Remember this --

 Well apparently Jackie doesn't have a cleaner, because this was made by Louise and not Jackie. Sorry Louise!



 We have a couple of photos from the Wednesday meeting.

Brenda has been working on her House Blocks with Attitude quilt that she started at a workshop at her LQS when Katherine Guerrier was teaching.
Katherine teaches quite improvisational techniques. Not a lot of measuring, just cut and sew. It works, doesn't it!

love the wonky houses

 

Remember the photo of a guilty looking Maureen in THIS POST?

Well I have to apologise, it wasn't guilt, it was panic that the photo may be posted before the gift was given.

A lovely sewing companion for Elizabeth

Have you bought any new books lately?

My New Years Resolution collapsed quite early



                                               

Nice book though!

Have any of you seen the CRAFTSY website? There are some great free patterns for Quilting, sewing, knitting and Crochet. You have to "sign up" but that costs nothing. Its worth a look at  THIS FREE CLASS on Creative Quilt Backs.

Don't forget we are experimenting with our machine feet on Monday. The requirements if you want to make a cushion with your results can be found HERE

We have posted the 2014 Dairy of Events dates on a separate page , so you can check out what will be going on. Changes to the Diary, will be posted there. Let me know what you think.

Monday 27th January will see our AGM - it will only take about 15 minutes, but we do need  couple of new committee members for a couple of positions.

Deputy Treasurer who will take over a Treasurer next year. Not too onerous as Carol will tell you, have a chat with her if you want to know more.

Programme Organiser for the Wednesday Ladies - the programme has been filled until the end of the year, so it will be sorting out next years diary.

Outings for the Monday Ladies. Ann has booked the outings this year (Uttoxeter in April and Alley Palley in October), but Ann will need someone to collect monies on a Monday.


 Please remember that without a full committee, we cannot keep the group going. We have 70+ members so I am sure that we will have no trouble filling the places. Two years on the committee is no hard task. Usually three meetings per year (because we are so organised!!)

If you are prepared to stand "with a friend" for one of the positions, that's fine the more, the merrier.

Please don't let me down :(((


No photos from Monday  as I have been dealing with a bit of this

And was delighted to receive these today.

Stunning!

THANK YOU LADIES!!
