What a great weekend we had, with Jo and her kaleidoscope workshop!

Many comments at first, about this being "the only one I will ever do!!" 

but by lunchtime it was flowing and the patterns were obvious.

6. Gloria's flowers

9. look so different.

8. Jan's bird panels

     

10. Pat's butterflies

11. cluster around petite flowers.

    

12. Maree and Barb couldn't go past the colours 

     

      

Beatrice tried a smaller project

and Teena 

and Loris, showed just how different their triangles can be!

Let's hope we get them finished and ....

they look as good as this one of Jo's!

Learning to use our beautiful new quilting machine - lesson 1! 

Next lesson on Monday 5th March - can't wait.

Learning how to set up the machine.

More discussion about what goes where.

Great 'Show and Tell' from the meeting on 2nd February 2012.

 

and Barb's miniatures!!!

We're all cards!

This was such great fun.

Ursula spent the day teaching us how to make cards.

Some of her lovely work to inspire us.

We soon had the tables awash with STUFF

We felt a little like kindergartners with all the cutting and sticking going on.

It was a wonderful day.

Lots of laughter with good friends and

a delicious morning tea too

The day the CEO didn't come..............

The Patch girls got up early today and baked,

some didn't even go for their early morning swim.

We put on gladrags and lipstick, packed our sewing bags with beautiful work

and turned up on time to be a welcoming committee.

We were expecting a visit from the Shire CEO,

we wanted to show him what a great little group we are and how fabulous it would be if the shire would consider us favourably when local business decisions such as clubroom rents are being discussed.

Sadly today he was unwell!

I hope it wasn't the thought of spending fun time with us that made him feel faint.
