July Newsletter

 

G’day

 

The weather is perfect for working on or snuggling under a quilt BUT only if you have the power!

 

Hands up those who are now paranoid about flickering lights!

Having spent the best part of two days last week without power, I now have the kettle full of water, I now shower twice a day (cos when you are on pumped tank water you can’t even flush during an outage), I save my puter stuff every couple of words (cos this is the third or fourth time I have started this newsletter) and I pretend the ‘fluffy’ floor no longer matter but how can I get sewing done, essential tv viewing viewed, hot dinners cooked and phone calls made (or received) if it all goes down again?

Now I have gas in the barbeque and the treadle sewing machine dusted orf! The wind is whistling outside and the heat pump is pumping so keep your fingers crossed. There is only so much gardening you can do in an easterly blow.

 

Onto more important stuff.

Friday afternoon sessions are open to any and everyone. Our OTT bags are progressing and others are catching up on their Natalie #1, Natalie #2 and Natalie #3 etc projects.

Time: Fridays each week 1-3pm.

Cost: $10.

 

Sew n Soup

Back to a Jilli Roll pattern. Use those 2½ inch strips in any colour or quantity you choose

Time: Friday July 27^th, 5pm-ish to whenever

Cost: $15

 

Please book ahead so the catering department (that’s me J) can be alerted.

 

Organise your own special day out for yourself or a group of friends. A lovely country lunch and a tutored session will cost $50 per person.

 

And don’t forget the retreats. Remember come for a class, a day or a stay.
