Wholly Quilts’ June Newsletter
G’day
Hope you are all making the most of the cooler quiltie weather to get some projects finished. It seems to be the season of exhibitions heading to year’s end.
As promised last month pumpkin soup time is also upon us so I have been trying out some of the recipes sent in by you and am preparing to amaze you with another tasty Sew n Soup on June 27. It promises to be a full house with retreaters joining in with the day-sippers.
Cuddling up to keep warm will be the recommendation for the night.
I am attaching a photo of the project for the night. It is primitive flowers and very similar to Ooey Gooey Hearts that went so well last month. As always you can join us and do your own thing or you can tackle either of these projects.
Requirements for the flowers are 10-inch squares for the background and an assortment of nine and eight inch squares for the flowers. (The hearts are done with five inch squares)
I am having so much fun with retreaters, last month they came from far and wide – Kerikeri, Katikati, Hamilton and Whangarei. I love meeting both familiar and new quiltie faces. One of the great treats from a retreat environment is learning new tricks and methods and not all of them relate to quilting J
Please let the catering department (me) know of your plans.
My ‘arty’ students are beginning to get their pieces together and are fabulous. Each one is very different and, for me, quite inspiring. It is not too late to join in. The sessions cost $10 each for two hours.
I am taking my ‘shop’ to some upcoming exhibitions so please do come and introduce yourself while there. The first is Highway 16’s in the Kumeu Community Centre on June 21/22. In July I will be at the Quilts by the Sea show in
