        Guest Speaker: Margaret Reehorn ( Vietnam Veterans Quilt Programme)

This activity allows us to invite Quilters from member groups and others to join us for a day of friendship and sharing.

Our guest speaker will speak about her involvement with the Vietnam Veterans Quilt project and I am sure you will find her to be a very interesting and inspirational speaker

As in the past we will present a welcoming gift to all attending ,if you are able to help make some of these gifts(Patchwork Key Ring) please see Shirley or myself at the next meeting,we need about  140 to be made. We will also have some traders to entice you ,a silent Auction of donated items, lots of door prizes and of course morning and afternoon tea . Please put this date in your diary.                                                                                       Regards                                                                                          Pam

Dolly Day

Each year one meeting is set aside as Dolly Day. On this day, members spend the meeting stuffing and sewing up calico dolls which are given to small children in hospital to be used as toys, but also to help doctors and nurses discuss treatment with the children. The materials are provided by a Kiwanis group who also distribute the completed dolls to hospitals.

The next Dolly Day will be announced in our newsletter, The Quilters Patch. As soon as details are available, they can also be found in the Yearly Diary section of this site.
