 A Flickr Stream

I've set up a Flickr stream called North of the Yarra Quilting Guild.  I've popped on a few photos to get it started.  Please join the group and start posting pictures.

Feel like a swap?

There are heaps of fabulous swaps taking place in our happy little bit of blogworld all the time.
Here's one I thought some of you might be interested in joining.  I've been in a few of Cheryll's swaps and they are always really well organised and lots of fun.

12" Mini Club

Here's a bit of what Cheryll has to say.

This is an excuse for 12inch MINI lovers to belong to a "group" with other 12 inch MINI lovers.
We can share ideas, patterns and encouragement.

THE AIM:
To make various 12inch squares of joy throughout the year... and swap them.

Why not join in... there are NO joining fees...
                           there are NO registrations forms...
                           there aren't even any rules...
You just make and swap a 12 inch MINI whenever you want to.

Guidelines:

MINI's should be 12" wide (x 14" tall at most) but there are NO ruler police!

Have a hanging sleeve on the back.

Have YOUR name or blog address on the back...   THAT'S IT... Oh and you may have to mail O/S (depending on the number and whereabouts of members in each swap).

UPCOMING MINI MAKES:

June 2012...

"Welcome"  theme... something that would be great at your front door.

Pop over to Cheryll's fabulous blog, Gone Stitchin' to find out more.

Projects Underway

It was a freezing cold night but many still ventured out to share some stitching, fun and laughter at the Thursday evening sit and sew session. Here are a few of the projects currently being stitched.

We had a special visitor too, Anita's mum Betty over on a visit from England.

Lots of fun was had by all.

PS Don't forget  that membership fees are due.

Show N Tell March 2012

April Guild Meeting and Newsletter

Join us on Saturday for Aprils' Guild meeting - our guest Lyn Wright will be attending with her Fat Quarters, I'm sure there will also be another delightful show n tell.

Sit back and read the April Newsletter and be inspired by the beautiful quilts made by our members - also be tantalized by the upcoming Symposium workshops available to our members. Print off, fill in and take part in the Symposium in September, it is a wonderful weekend of new techniques to be learnt and friendships enjoyed.
