A happy group of enthusiastic ladies got together on Saturday to make tote bags to sell at our up-coming exhibition in September.

 Some of the finished products with L-R Teresa, Diana, Vida, Marleen, Sheila and Lola.
That is not really a hat Teresa is wearing, but a cute little fabric box made by Anne.

Playing up to the camera!  Good look ladies!

Open Day

We were delighted by the number of visitors to our Open Day on Saturday 17 October and look forward to seeing some of them at our regular sewing sessions on Tuesdays &/or Saturdays. (Check out our website for details.)

Ailleen Collins(far right) was thrilled to be the winner of this "heart quilt", the Lucky Door prize, drawn at the end of the day. She was so excited she jumped into her car and immediately came up to Jellicoe Street to collect her quilt!

This is a photo of Fay Suley, Secretary, Toowoomba Quilters Club, in her corner on Open Day, happily sharing her knowledge and expertise with visitors and club members.

One week to go!

Our thanks to Di who is doing so much work for our quilt exhibition that opens next Saturday.

Thanks also to Alison and Loretta who set up this display in the Toowoomba Library to assist with promotion of the event. (I failed to get a photos of the previous display last week.)

We have a wonderful array of quilts to exhibit and we look forward to seeing you in the TAFE building next week.

2009 Queensland Quilters Annual Picnic

This is getting to be old news - but it is something we want to share.

Toowoomba Quilters Club hosted this annual event during May this year and we were delighted to welcome over 360 people from approximately 20 clubs in the region. The Autumn in Toowoomba theme was evidenced by the autumn leaf name tags for participants and the display of the entries in the Club Challenge Quilt Contest which required members to create an original quilt, 24 inches square, with an autumn theme. These are just a few of the entries. (More photos will follow in a future blog entry.)

The pin cushion swap was very popular, the on-site vendors were kept busy and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to share knowledge and ideas with fellow quilters.

Proceeds from the raffle and cent auctions were donated to Angel Flight.
