Gail Pan

Fresh from teaching in Europe, Gail Pan will be spending the weekend with us at the NOTYQ Quilt Exhibition and I for one feel very lucky.
Gail grew up in a home where sewing was an important part of life.  In 2003 she began designing her own patterns.  She now designs fabric and teaches internationally and all over Australia.
Gail's designs feature, stitcheries, needleturn and piecing
Gail thoroughly enjoys sharing her love of needle and thread.

Enormous thanks to Leesa Chandler

Everyone had a wonderful time at Leesa Try It Out day on NOTYQ on Saturday.



We had a fantastic day with Leesa! Lots of laughs and some stitching got done and of course some shopping too!

Our Raffle Quilt

A glimpse of the raffle quilt which was quilted by Leanne Kaufman.  I'll ask Christine to take a photo of the entire
quilt and share it here.

Workshop news

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick reminder that Leesa Chandler's shop and Try It Out mini workshops are on this Saturday. There are still a few spaces for the TIO and all are welcome to come to look at the shop. See the mini projects below. Cost to participate in the TIO is $10 (this includes one mini project) and each additional project will be $3.
Sit and sew will still be on this group will use the side room while Leesa and her shop will be in the main hall.
All welcome to come and shop.
Also remember ladies this is a NOTYQ event and as such please contribute to set up and put away where you can. This includes leaving the kitchen as we normally do.
I will be there from about 9.30am for a 10.00am start. Leesa is happy for participants to come throughout the day, but we do anticipate that it will be over by 4.00pm, so if you wish to stitch leave yourself enough time to do so.
Happy stitching ladies.
