Hi! Everyone,
This year’s Quilt-In is shaping up to be one of our best.
Our Guest Speaker, Nicole Mallieau is about to launch her 3rd book, the 3 shops are preparing to entice you all with their wares, our table bookings have exceeded all expectations, the “raffle” quilt that Wendy Charles so graciously made and donated, now has a name: “The Time Of Toile”, and the 3 hampers that make up our “Treasure Chest” effort will be filled with goodies. Thank you to the members who donated those goodies! Lorraine Carr and I will be making those up at the September Day meeting.
[See Nicole’s website here, or see her blog ‘You Sew Girl’ here]
The Roster is filling, but we still need names down for kitchen duty, mini-raffle table, lucky number draw and help with the “show and tell”. Please help out if you can.
Set up is happening the night before, and the Committee and volunteers will be busy in our newly renovated hall. Doesn’t it look fabulous?….hopefully, the kitchen and back yard will be completed with-in the next 12 months.
Now, the Challenge for the Quilt-In is a bit different from previous years, this year we are asking you to make a bag!…which fits our theme beautifully, please join in and hopefully you will win a very special prize

Hi Everyone,
Just some last minute ‘bits and bobs”!
Bookings for this year’s Quilt-In have REALLY exceeded all expectations!
Over 140 are booked to attend!
I have managed to accommodate nearly everyone, but, we will be sitting 10 to a table!
I understand this may be a cosy fit, but I think we will all enjoy the day and go home at the end of it “buzzing”!
The Committee, despite renovations still happening have done a great job organizing what is going to be a great day!
Congratulations Kerry and Committee on organising a great day! A beautiful spread as always. Shops were great and lovely to meet other Quilters from places like Wyndham, Pakenham and Warragul.
