MEGA CATCH UP

It has been such a long time since I wrote on this Blog and for that I apologise.  The main reason for this is that I keep getting technical problems with Blogger and keep receiving messages that an unauthorised sign in has occurred in all parts of the world!!  The latest this week has been in Massachusetts.  This is very tiresome and means that I have to keep changing passwords just as I have got used to the current one, so I must admit I lost my patience and left the whole thing alone for a while.

Last month we had a workshop with Kathryn Chambers.  This was a great day.  Kathryn's work is simply amazing and she is a very generous teacher.  I will post photographs below of her work.  Everyone who came to the workshop thoroughly enjoyed it but I don't know how many have completed what they have started!!

The other bit of news is that Del Whitfield one of our members and our Treasurer won Judges' Choice at the South West Quilters Exhibition at West Point, Exeter, with her quilt 'Black and White and Daisies all over'.  We were very excited when we arrived to look at the Quilts and saw that Del's had a Rosette on it. 

Kathryn Chambers beautiful work.



 
 
We are running a Bus Trip on Tuesday 13th May to Midsomer Quilters at Midsomer Norton.  We shall be leaving Weymouth from Southill Shopping Centre Car Park at 9 a.m.  The first stop is Midsomer Quilters shop for a bit of retail therapy and have lunch there.  ( Bring your own packed lunch) .  Tea and Coffee provided but not  food.  Then on in the afternoon to Radstock Museum to the Exhibition of Quilts.  Leave Radstock at 4 - 4.30 p.m.
 
Kathryn Chambers has some of her work in the Exhibition.

Everyone pays for their Entrance to the Museum and Exhibition.
 
We hope as many of you come as possible.  We have a 35 seater coach to fill so there is plenty of room.
