We enjoyed a “High Tea” which is really lunch, at the Shangri La Hotel’s Rose Veranda to say farewell to Melinda who is leaving us and heading to Shanghai with her family. Lots of yummy food, 102 different teas to choose from and a scrumptious dessert buffet. Best wishes for your new adventures Melinda – we’ll miss you and your wonderful classes – and we look forward to hearing about the quilting and fabric opportunities in China.

New - Block of the Month Lucky Draw
We've started a Block of the Month Lucky Draw. First draw is October and the theme is anything Christmas. Blocks should be 8" (8 1/2" unfinished) and any technique. Each block you contribute equals one entry in the Lucky Draw to win all the blocks for that month. The winner will then choose theme for the next Lucky Block Draw.
September Show & Tell
Thanks to Michele for hosting today. For those of us living at ground level it was a novelty to watch the big tropical storm from up high! The rain was so heavy, we stayed and watched quilting videos – what a treat.
Get Well wishes to Miranda – we hope your recovery is swift and also to Kathy who we hope is out and about again soon.
The first pic is Michele and her Eye Spy quilt for one of her grandsons.
and a close-up
then some of Michele’s nine-pach blocks, intended for a Disappearing Nine Patch quilt design, also in Eye Spy fabrics.
Christina made this stunner from a pattern which was a Mystery Quilt pattern. She machine quilted it herself on a long-arm machine, which you can “rent” for the job at shops in the US. What a great idea!
and another one
It really has been SOOO hot and we haven’t had any rain for a while, so when it hit today, the temperature plummeted to about 26c and some of us felt Quite Cold!

Show & Tell August 2009
Wow. We have been busy this month.
First up is the Group Crazy Quilt we have put together, which will be raffled at the upcoming Quilters’ Lunch & Show in Singapore in October.
The top was made with lots of donated fabrics which each of the members made over the past year. It has been tied, rather than quilted.
Next is a quilt which Dal has for sale to raise funds for her African charity. The top was donated to her and she had it professionally machine-quilted by Desley (Addicted to Quilts) in Melbourne.
Melinda has made this lovely quilt with bright, modern fabrics. Not sure what she has planned for this one?
Lorraine has made the gorgeous “Owl Bag”. How cute is this ??
Lastly, Melinda has made this beautiful Sampler Quilt, which she’s teaching at one of her classes.
