Wholly Quilts July Newsletter

 

G'day

I have just come back from attending the Three Ms retreat in Long Bay and had forgotten how much you get out of such events. I couldn't wait to get back to my sewing machine and fabric stash. Mind you I get just as bigger buzz even when I do all the cooking too.

 

Prayer Flags have already started arriving in the studio including a pair of the genuine Nepalese flags (thank you Dianne). I would like them all here by the end of September.

They will be exhibited at our local club exhibition in November and used to raise funds for St Johns. The dimensions are (triangular) 15 inches across the top, 18 inches long and two inches on the point. They can me made any way you fancy but must be three layers ( so they retain their form in the breeze) and have three one inch long loops sewn across the top.

 

Open Retreat – there is still a couple of vacancies. Anyone else out there looking for a relaxing/creative/different weekend? Come with a like-minded friend or meet some new ones on the first weekend in August ie July 31 and August 1 and 2 I am going to have an open retreat here at Wholly Quilts. It must be time you treated yourself. To reserve your spot you will need to pay a $50 deposit.

 

Sew n Soup will be part of the open retreat and we'll be tackling a new Jelly Roll pattern on the night. Bring 2½-inch strips. As always if you prefer to do your own thing then that too is fine.

Cost is $20 and please warn the catering department of your intentions.
