Wholly Quilts newsletter

Wholly Quilts’ September Newsletter

 

G’day

 

Today is one of those days that is left over from yesterday – you know what I mean! I had to use my printer but it (and then I) threw a hissy which has meant all afternoon wasted yesterday, a trip to Auckland today with said printer and now I am so not in the mood to be spending the afternoon at my computer while the sun shines outside.

 

However – I am so excited about your response to The Project that I have decided to tell those that didn’t get around to signing up about it again.

It is not necessarily a block of the month or a mystery quilt but has those elements. 

The finished large single size includes piecing, appliqué and embroidery.

The cost is $5 per month but maximum $60 for the 14-15 month Project.

The second month’s pattern is ready to go but you can still sign up and catch up by sending me an email, pay all or part of the $60 (you choose) and stand by to go

 

After cancelling August’s Sew n Soup so I could skive off to a quilt exhibition AND the scallop festival, I am in danger of not finding alternatives for September’s Friday night.

So given the diary commitments I have made an executive decision - Soup n Soup will be held on Thursday September 25.

And I will remind you of two very good quiltie reasons for this:

The first is Peninsular Day for all things quilting on Saturday September 27. Run this year by the Whangamata quilters. Sewing till whenever the night before doesn’t sit well.

The weekend prior to that is the Craft Fair in Hamilton.

The other consideration is that there is only September and October available for Sew n Soup before I take off on my big OE – I haven’t quite started counting the number of sleeps yet but less than three months worth.

 

So! Sew n Soup this month will be another Jelly Roll pattern. You will need the 2½ inch strips and, given that you will be making a quilt with twinkling stars, fabric in your favourite twinkling colour.

As always please advise the cook of your intentions.

 

The ‘arty’ gals have started on their second masterpieces. If you’d like to join this class then make a date for Tuesday afternoons with us. Looks like lunch at the café next door is part of this deal and we can solve all the problems over yummy muffins.

 

 

Go well!

 

 

 

 

Regards

Natalie Murdoch
