Wholly Quilts New Year Newsletter
Happy, happy New Year!
It is that time of the year when we reflect on achievements past and future ambitions. It is reassuring to know that my family are healthy and happy, my own health and home are thriving and my quilting continues to engross and delight me. Long may that continue!
Some of my friends have not been so fortunate and my love goes to them with the hope of a better time in the coming year.
The weather right now is far too beautiful to be inside quilting but a pen and paper in the shade is a good place to plan future projects – that’s where I am heading now.
Summer Picnic for Quilters
I know I forgot to tell you the date last newsletter but then most of you already know it is on Saturday January 22. Pot-luck picnic, raffles, give-aways and a 10.30am-ish start should make for a fun day. Share your latest projects with us including the Lime Spritzers.
There is a prize for the best answer to ‘what have you herd of quilters?’
The Leaf Project and Turquoise Sherbet have had some attention from me over recent weeks and both will be ready to fly come March - more about them next month.
Pumpkin Patch
It is now that time of the year in the garden when a salad is just waiting to be picked – plenty of greens, herbs, tomatoes, potatoes and cucumbers there for the eating. I was delighted to make a batch of jam from my own strawberries and boysenberries on Christmas Eve to add to my kids’ hampers. The pumpkins, grapes, blueberries, damson plums, passionfruit and tamarillos are promising many feeds to come.
Wholly Quilts Retreats
I want to welcome all the newbies to my newsletter and give you some information about retreats. Generally they are held over a weekend, Friday night through to Sunday afternoon, and the cost includes all accommodation, meals and teaching. Accommodation is shared rooms; meals are all fresh and seasonal and sometimes I test new recipes on you; and teaching can cover all techniques and skill levels.
The cost now is $175 per person
My wish for you is for good health, happiness and that all your dreams and resolutions are realised in 2011
Regards
Natalie Murdoch
