The Open Day held last Saturday 16 February was an outstanding success.
Congratulations to our Events organizer, Ineke and her band of many helpers.
The viewer’s choice table runners were strung along a line at the entrance to the meeting rooms. It was very eye catching.
Demonstrations were popular with visitors all day. The visitors also enjoyed refreshments provided by members of the club. The ladies on kitchen duties did a mighty fine job.
Here are some of the wonderful demonstrations we had.
Cheryl and Joan R – Disappearing 9 Patch.
Fay Suley – Stack n Whack
June P demonstrating and wearing Crazy Patch Quilting. Her skirt is made out of men’s ties in the colours of the colour wheel.

Linda Wrench – Needle felting. Linda had an eye catching display behind her of her needle felted art quilts.
