Month: May 2025

Once again the Sit and Sew evening was well attended. Announcements were made as follows.

4^th June – The Summer Social evening would be held from 7pm – 9pm at Monkland Hall.  Members were asked to bring a plate of savoury items to share with each other.  A surprise sweet would be provided by  the committee. Carol had agreed to organise a game so members were asked to bring a wrapped fat or long quarter of fabric to play the game. This could be nice or naff!  A quiz organised by Debbie could be played whilst enjoying the refreshments.

18^th June – The workshop by Joy Harber would be held from 10am – 4pm at a cost of £25 per person.  Anyone wishing to sit and sew from 2pm – 4pm could do so but only hand sewing would be possible due to the number of tables in use.

31^st July – Coach trip to the NEC Festival of Quilts. The cost would be £35 per person (coach £20 ticket £15) Quilters Guild members would be entitled to a £1 ticket reduction upon production of their Registration number.  Payment would be non refundable. The list for tickets, to be ordered by Leominster Quilters, would be closed on 18^th June to facilitate purchase of the tickets.

PAYMENT for the workshop and NEC trip should preferably be made by BACS and Debbie advised when this had been made.

Thanks go to Debbie, Lynne and the several other members who helped to serve tea, coffee and biscuits. 

At the end of a lovely hot sunny day 17 members gathered to spend the evening sitting and sewing their individual projects and chatting with their neighbours. They were reminded that details of recent notices were available on the table for them to look at. 

As everyone sat chatting and sewing, Alyson explained the next set of instructions for the Block of the Month Christmas Tree Quilt.

Thanks go to Pat and Judy for serving the refreshments.
