We had a lively AGM at the start of May and two interesting mini workshops since then, one with Gill Biel and the other with Kate (me!).
The Linus day at Bradmore went very well, with several quilts started and thanks to the generous donations from members of the group, we had a marvelous array of fabrics to choose from, with plenty still available to make even more!
Subscriptions were due in May, if anyone has not renewed but still wishes to do so, please contact me on 01902 711983 or by email catherine.brierley2@
July 4th Summer Strawberries and Cream Show and Tell
Please bring a little food to share and of course anything you want to show us; finished or not, work in progress - it is great to see it all and there will be a raffle too.
If you know of someone who might be interested in joining our group, this is an ideal opportunity to invite them to come along and see some of the beautiful work you all produce.
August 1st Linus Evening
We have decided to run a special Linus Evening, where everyone can get involved with helping to put some finishing touches to the Linus quilts in progress or take on a kit to make a small quilt suitable for premature babies.
The quilts can be any size but tiny 18 in x 18 in is a very popular size for premature babies and meter square quilts are ideal for those in wheelchairs.
