Another Baby Quilt…

Thanks Kathy Q. for your hospitality this week. We had a great turnout and a few new faces which is wonderful

Kathy I. has finished a baby quilt for a boy. She was concerned at the amount of ‘girly’ florals in it, so has appliqued some cute, blue teddy bears. It looks gorgeous Kathy!

May Show & Tell

Many thanks to Janice C for hosting today in her lovely home. It was wonderful to have four new faces joining us.  We bid a very sad farewell to Janice J – thanks SO much Janice for all your dedication and hard work for ANZA Quilters over the past years. You will be sorely missed, but always welcome back!
It seems ages since we’ve had a proper Show & Tell. Today we saw Maggie’s baby quilt for “Timeo” which is destined for Hong Kong. Lucky Baby.
