Get to know you day

After all the snow and cancellations, Patchdean and Seahaven Day Groups decided to have a 'Get to know you day'

There were 12 of us and we all met at my house. Pauline and I made soup which went down very well and lots of yummy cake made by Christa and Julia.

Everyone brought along one of their first pieces of patchwork/quilting and we had a very noisy Show & Tell. Great to see how we have all developed and quite alarming to see how much the fabrics have dated.

Caroline who has just joined OVQ had a good initiation into the group and went home wanting to make everything.

We also collected £40 for the Haiti earthquake appeal.

SNOW...........

Not a very good start to the new year. We have had to cancel our meeting on Tuesday evening with Sandra Grusd. Too chilly and more to the point too slippy.

Lorna's workshop on 21st has been postponed as Lorna has been unwell. We hope she makes a speedy recovery.

We did try to book another tutor and got all excited about Louise Mabbs, she would have done it. But in the end we decided that there would not be enough time for preparation and sourcing materials. We will book her for later in the year or early next year.

Our next workshop will be with Jan on Monday 15th February. You can come and make a big bag for your cutting board and equipment, great for taking to workshops etc and it is also good for storing your board. They are quite sensitive to heat and extreme cold, once they are warped they stay that way. The details and some pictures of the main block choices are on the Workshop page and the needs list can be found there too.

Keep warm Brenda x
