Future meetings

Unfortunately we have decided to cancel the next two meetings.  This means there will be no meetings in April or May, plus the Stuart Hillard workshop and the coach to Malvern are also cancelled.  At the moment we are hoping the June birthday celebration meeting will go ahead, but we will have to decide that nearer the time.
In the meanwhile, I thought I would share a simple quilt pattern which you can make from your stash.  It’s a Jenny Doan pattern called ‘Falling Charms’ and you can watch her show you how to make it in detail on YouTube.

Here it is.  You need some coloured 5” squares and background fabric cut into 2.5” strips. I used all kinds of novelty fabric squares, but it would look lovely with a colour theme. 

Cut a 2.5” strip into a 5” and a 7” piece. 

Join the 5” piece to one side of the 5” square and then the 7” piece alongside it. 

Make another, rotate it 180 degrees and join them together.  Make more, join in rows etc.  

It will probably make your brain ache working out how to put it together (it did mine!) but you can do it! 

Stop press!

Sorry to say that tonight’s meeting has been cancelled, due to the Prime Minister’s instructions on how to limit the spread of Covid-19.  We aren’t sure how to proceed, but we have already heard that the Stuart Hillard workshop on May 15th is cancelled too.  Members check your inbox for future details and non-members check before you travel.
Keep well and keep sewing!
