Our September meeting was very well supported. Maybe it was after the holiday season, or maybe it was our speaker, Carolyn Forster who was the attraction! Carolyn gave us an excellent talk about using precuts, from charm squares to layer cakes, with jelly rolls on the way!
This quilt is one using up ends of jelly roll strips and other scraps making flowers. Very pretty.
There was no raffle this time, but Madeline and Di will be taking on this responsibility from the next meeting. We are hoping to maximise charity profits by using donated items as prizes. If you have any surplus fat quarters, patterns or other quilty goodies they would be very pleased to receive them.
People seem to have embraced the Inspiration Challenge. Show and tell was exceptional this month.

This quilt is made from one simple block which rotates alternately. It can be a real brain ache to put together!
Paula took these yellow blocks which were made at the Linus evening and has put them together beautifully.
This lovely sheep hexagon quilt was also made by Paula. The yellow makes it look so fresh.
Jan used scraps to make this clever shapes quilt. Ideal for a budding mathematician.

Another finish from Paula. Clever use of 2.5” squares.
Gwyneth took a bag of assorted farm scraps, and by adding her own tractors, has made them into a fabulous Linus quilt.

The next meeting will be the AGM and we will also have a members’ sales table. If you have anything you would like to sell, bring it along with a label with your name and the price you want and we will do our best to sell it for you. Also, it is the last opportunity to complete your Inspiration Challenge. The prizes are all ready!
