Show n Tell from the September 2011 Meeting

Show n Tell from the October 2011 Meeting

March Newsletter and Guild Meeting

What a great newsletter this month - lovely show n tell and a great holiday experience from Adrienne, on her trip to Houston - it sounded like such a wonderful experience.

Make a cuppa and enjoy the read. The highlights of the show n tell have to be the lovely display on quilts made during the January workshop - Seattle Streets, designed by Laurie Biethan, such an array of beautiful colour schemes, well done ladies.

Hope to see you all at next Thursday's Guild meeting, Thursday 15th March, and at the additional Sit n Sew day at the rooms on Saturday 17th March.

Happy Sewing, Jennifer

August 2011 Show n Tell

February Guild Meeting and Newsletter

Welcome to the first official Guild meeting for 2012, this Saturday. Join us for a wonderful day of sewing friendship. I'm sure there will be an abundance of show n tell. Items made over the Christmas/New Year break and from the January workshop where participants took part in making their own version of the the Seattle Streets quilt design - see previous blog entry for details.

Enjoy reading this months newsletter, a bumper edition, this is definitely worthy of a lovely cup of tea and biscuit and time to read and enjoy.

While here on the NOTYQ blog take a look at some of our members blog sites, many of them have been very active - blogwise and craftywise.

Hope you've all had a wonderful break, and enjoyed some time sewing.
Jennifer
