Wholly Quilts

Wholly Quilts’ March Newsletter

 

 

G’day

 

Yeah – quilting weather is coming, quilting weather is coming!

 

The ladies in the two classes running this term are producing some beautiful work. I am continually surprised at how much I learn from my students – different stitches, short cuts and colour combinations – goes to show there is always something new to load into the grey cells.

 

I have just realised that writer’s block and quilter’s block are one and the same. I have been working on a ‘blue dog’ that seemed to be doing its own thing until it all stalled. This quilt is a reminder of all the blue dogs in my life that are no more and has been fun till now. I thought by taking a break and getting a newsletter out to all of you would get me over those bumps but now both are taking ages to complete. Maybe I should head out to the garden for some inspiration!

 

I am looking at a school holiday kids’ class if there is enough interest. The young ones will make a simple quilt over two days. I will supply all fabric and materials but may need sewing machines. So, the class will be held on Thursdays April 24 and May 1 from 10am to 3pm. The cost for the two days is $75.

What to bring: lunch and grandma (she’s not compulsory but would be very welcome)

I know this is early notice but it might help you plan the holiday break.

 

Friday night’s sew n soup will continue on the last Friday of each month.  On March 28, we will tackle a chenille project – either a bag or, I know some of you want to make the Christmas tree that is still hanging in the studio. Phone me to confirm your place and I will give you a list of requirements.

 

As always – if you want to come along and do your own thing, catch up on an unfinished project or just visit then you are welcome. Please let the catering department know of your plans.

 

 

 

Regards
