Competitions

We have a competition at every meeting. This is quite an informal affair in which everyone is invited to participate. Please bring two clippy skirt hangers to display (we always love looking at others' work!) and the entry which has the most votes from attendees wins a (modest) prize.

Sales table

The sales table is very popular, and is an opportunity to bag a bargain or have a clear out. We will be having 2 sales tables each year. Please price each item in 50p increments as this will make the mental maths easier. Each item needs to have the price and your initials on a pinned or paper-clipped piece of paper on the front of the item so the label can be removed when the item is sold. Volunteers are always needed on sales table days to man the tables. Don't forget to collect your cash and any unsold items before you leave. Rocheberie Quilters will retain 10% of the cost of each item sold to boost our funds. On table top sale days, members can hire a table for £5 and sell their own items. Book in with Lynda before the day please.

Recycling Quilting Magazines

You can donate your unwanted quilting magazines to the group without having to collect them at the end of the day. Magazines will be sold with donations being collected in an honesty box. Unsold magazines will be kept and brought to the next meeting by a committee member.

Cakes

Everyone looks forward to the delicious home-made cakes at Rocheberie meetings. If you are able to bring a your speciality cake, as a thank you, we will give you £2 towards the cost of your ingredients.

Bring Your Own Mug

Please bring your own mug along to meetings - we will be happy to fill your it with tea and coffee (full fat or decaf) for free during the day. If you have any special dietary requirements, please bring your own supplies.

Charity

We are a generous group, and like to support local charities if we can. We have a raffle at every meeting to raise funds for a specific cause. Donations of sewing related items always welcome.

Home

Rocheberie Schoolhouse Quilters meet six times a year at Dunchurch Village Hall in Rugby. A typical meeting includes a programme of sit and sew, sales table or trader, an afternoon speaker, show and tell and charity raffle. The day runs from 9.45 till about 3.00, costs £6 and includes free tea and coffee.

If you are interested in patchwork and quilting you are welcome to join us for a day of inspiration, friendship, learning and laughter.
