May Meeting and Retreat

Well what a great time we have had this month. We made baby quilts to donate to Mater 

Mothers, we welcomed a new member, Jenny and we had a retreat at Stacey's at the Gap 

near Warwick. Lots of fun.  Enjoy some of the photos 

 This is the link for Kool Kats quilting our guest tutors in July. Thank you to those ladies

9 of us travelled to Warwick for a weekend retreat.  Leonie and Mal really looked after us, as usual. We sewed from daylight til late and had a great time.  Sheen , Margie and Peg even managed to find a snake.   Non poisonous lucky... a big carpet snake sunning himself near the path.  We all achieved a lot. I would encourage you all to come next year in May around this same time.  $275  ( Fri to Sunday) is all it costs..well worth it in a beautiful part of the world.
