Wholly Quilts’ April Newsletter
G’day
I think 2008 is the year for new faces and new places – new faces through the studio either just looking or joining in the sessions and new places to teach. And then there is my big OE ticket burning a hole in my (I was going to say pocket but ...) cheque book.
A big welcome to the new Sew n Soupers that joined us last month – I hope to see lots of chenille Christmas trees being decorated over the coming months.
Don’t forget this session is held on the last Friday of each month. Usually there is a new project (pattern or technique) to try out and a souper supper. We start at 5-ish and sew till whenever – the cost is $15.
I was the merchant at the Auckland Guild last Saturday and am off to
I’ve had lots of enquiries about retreats and teaching sessions and have a reasonable selection of dates still available so if you want to come try what is on offer here then be in. Remember I am less than an hour and a half from
That OE I mention will probably begin to dominate proceedings later in the year but in the meantime I have to tell you that I am booked to go to the
Blue dog is finally finished, photographed and entered into the World Quilt competition – it would be very exciting to have it chosen to go to the
Last time I told you about the quilter’s block and I have to say the swarms of pesky white butterflies inspired me to come inside and finish off ‘blue dog’ with some butterfly quilting (not white ones).
I have had no registrations of interest for the school holiday class but now that the break is one month closer you may like to think about it – let me know. 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 April 25, it will be your opportunity for a big catch-up. You can bring along a project from a previous session or you might choose to start one of the patterns you missed out on. Contact me with a few days to spare so I can tell you what the requirements are.
Please let the catering department (me) know of your plans.
Regards
Natalie Murdoch
