Sew and Chat Tuesday

This past Tuesday was one of those sunny crisp winter days and our members enjoyed the warm sunny space we have at Jellicoe Street meeting rooms.
The group had a bus trip on the previous Friday to the Beenleigh Quilt Show and there was much chatter about this and what a wonderful day we had had.

Our two darling divas, Sheila (middle) and Ineke (right) entertained us in the bus on the trip down.  They had games and prizes for us, as well as witty chatter to keep us amused.  Maureen (left) was our tour co-ordinator and we would like to thank her for her marvellous organization.  A good time was had by all.
We also visited some quilt shops along the way where we had some retail therapy. Sew Co at Mt Gravatt and Country Quilt Co. at Ipswich.  Lovely shops and lovely hospitality from the owners.
