Newsletter Meeting Thursday 19th. February The Show –Thursday 21st. May 2015 See the website for a countdown! We had an inspiring show and tell when we saw how many Garden quilts have been made or are on their way. Well done everyone they will make a wonderful display at the show. Some members even have time to make other things, there is always so much to inspire at our meetings. We had a demonstration of quilt as you go last month and there will be a demonstration, hints and tips for layering and quilting a whole quilt this month. Remember that there is a folder with the instructions and samples for all the garden blocks if you need a reminder or inspiration. Registration forms for the Show are attached to the newsletter so please think about what you are going to enter. Please remember all measurements need to be in inches. We would like everyone to enter something, there is so much lovely work being done in the group, this is our chance to celebrate. We would like forms returned before or at the March meeting. See Chris Dobson or Barbara if you have any queries.
