Little Quilts of Love - Charity Sewing Day - Saturday 21 October 2017 - Details
Dare to Differ 1-24 September
Congratulations to Rachaeldaisy, winner of the Most Innovative Award, sponsored by Brother Australia.
Wonderful show, special thanks to all those who made submissions in support of this exhibition.
The Puzzle Project - take a look
September Guild Meeting: We were amazed at the skill of Julie Boyd from Embroiderers Guild of SA who brought exquisite examples of Japanese silk embroidery with a slide show to expand on the history & process. An interesting thing is that no colour wheel (as we know it) is used. The 'Seasonal colours' are utilised with certain colours for all year use. This process is strictly adhered to as the embroideries are very much part of the traditional culture. Thanks Julie for sharing.
Di Fisher, curator of the Embroiderers Guild Museum also introduced us to the Signature Quilt project.
Inspired after a talk about modern quilting by Cassie, member of SAMQ, Sonia member at Gawler Quilters made this quilt, brought along to Guild for show & tell in September. 
August Guild Meeting: Jeannie had a chat with pictures, giggles & warnings about clumsiness & quilting. Thanks Jeannie, so entertaining! It was great to announce both the Viewers Choice & also the raffle winners. Ann Marie introduced us to the 2018 Festival of Quilts Committee and shared (with a tear), that the friendships she has made are lifelong & invaluable to her. A great testimonial to the sometimes overlooked benefits of stepping up to be part of a team & working with a group of like minded people. Margy, from Fauna Rescue gave us a brief but very interesting insight to the work of this organisation & we are so pleased that they are the recipients of the raffle proceeds this year. Please take a look at the Fauna Rescue website.
