What a wonderful meeting!!  We had so much going on at this meeting.  Not only did we have the inspirational Gail Lawther as our speaker, but we had 5 wonderfully talented demonstrators, a full sales table, Crafts and Quilts from Heart of the Shires and of course a super show and tell.

Yet another fantastic day.  This time we were very lucky to have Sally White as our speaker.  Sally is the owner of Threads and Patches in Milton Keynes.  Sally not only shared some of her beautiful work, but also gave us an insight on the life of a quilt shop owner.  Threads and Patches has recently moved to a new location with plenty of parking.

Show and Tell was fabulous.  Our ladies have been very busy over the summer and this is just a snippet of what we saw.


Lastly, I just wanted to let you all know of the wonderful work that Brenda is doing.  Brenda has started an appeal for quilts for our injured men that are coming home from Afghanistan.  Brenda ideally is looking for quilts that are 60" x 72" and that would be masculine in taste, but is also looking for donations of old shirts as they lend themselves to simple designs.   

We had a great speaker this time who spoke with humour and expertise.  Jackie is the owner of White Cottage Country Crafts and had several beautiful quilts to look at as well as giving us helpful hints and tips along the way.


Once again the members of Rocheberie brought a amazing show tell...

Our meeting in May was a feast for the eyes as our speaker was Shirley Bloomfield.  Shirley is well known for her exquisite applique in a Baltimore style with an English flare.   We learned about Shirley start in quilting and how she fell in love with this very intricate form of quilting.

We've kicked off the new year with a bustling meeting.  Our speaker was Amanda Hall from Monkey Buttons.  Amanda spoke of the extensive line of patterns she has developed over the last few years.  It was a delightful day with a very inspirational show and tell.

We had a wonderful day sewing different bags.  Many thanks to the ladies that organized it and prepared all the patterns.
