March Newsletter and upcoming Guild Meeting

Lovely image from Jenni Scott's website

Go and make yourself a lovely cup of tea and return to read the latest "March Newsletter" - jam packed full of information, lists of upcoming events, the exhibition challenge and show n tell from our February meeting.

Next Thursday, the 17th, is our Guild meeting night, from 7:30pm onwards - come along and join us.

Jenni Scott from Always Quilting is coming to inform us all about thread.
She is a great speaker and will be giving us all sorts of advice about which threads to use where. She does sell the Aurifil Threads and will have them to purchase on the night, although she will not just be talking about her own threads which is great. You can check out her website at Always Quilting.

** Don't forget, we get the extra sewing day on Saturday 19th March, from 10am onwards.

All are welcome - come and enjoy the companionship of fellow sewers - and see a wonderful array of show n tell. It always amazes me the diversity of quilting styles - all beautiful and inspirational.

Happy Sewing
Jennifer
