The next meeting of Ledbury Quilters will be held on Wednesday 23 October 2019 at the Baptist Church Hall beginning at the usual time of 7.30pm.
Cheryl and Liz are in charge of refreshments.
The speaker at the meeting is Sally Stevens who loves to design and quilt! Once the editor of two multinational patchwork and quilting magazines, Sally is also a long-standing member of “The Quilters Guild” and spent five years as the editor of their Region 11 newsletter. Sally regularly writes patterns for “Today’s Quilter” and “Love Patchwork and Quilting” and you can watch her on Sewing Quarter on Sky 678, Freeview 73, online at sewingquarter.com or on YouTube. She will also be bringing some items to have a look at. We will have a question and answer session so please come with some prepared questions to ask. If you don’t want to ask them yourself, please send them to me and one of the committee will ask on your behalf.
Membership subscriptions are due this month – the annual fee remains at £12. As a member you benefit from reduced rates for meetings and workshops.
Just a reminder that at our Exhibition (- 11/12 July 2020 -) there will be sales table, so if you have any unwanted sewing related items e.g. books, magazine, notions or fabric that you wish to donate, you can bring them to this and all future meetings.
If the items are heavy or bulky, please don’t bring them but talk to one of the committee and we will arrange for them to be collected or delivered to Bobbie who is kindly storing everything.
If you were wondering why we have moved the date and venue of our exhibition it is because the hall at Tarrington wasn’t really big enough. Having chosen the Rugby Club, the date then had to avoid their playing season as well as the main holiday month of August – hence we chose July. It has the added advantage of coinciding with the Poetry Festival, so we could have even more visitors!
