Who doesn’t love colour? I think even the most devoted of we quilters who tend to keep our creations focused to the less vibrant of the colour wheel can appreciate the pop and excitement of a multi-coloured quilt. These quilts become a feast for the eyes. There is an energy connected to textiles of multi-colours…
The first meeting of the financial year went well with show and tell of some amazing projects. It never ceases to amaze me the wonderful creativity I see each month. Hoping some of this will rub off on me…. Kate mentioned the upcoming Dresden Plate Mini Quilt Challenge which will have prizes. Check your emails…
As predicted, it was a more subdued meeting today. Quite a few new faces, quite a bit of chat about this year’s Craft and Quilt show and a lot of productive sewing. Show and tell produced some beautiful quilts and WIPs as always… And Jessica brought along her 9 month WIP (now finished for 2…
This topic is so exciting I thought it was worth its own blog post! A few months ago Perth Modern Quilt Guild purchased an AccuQuilt GO! Cutter and a bunch of dies for members to use at our monthly meetings. What can an AccuQuilt do, you ask? Well if you missed Jodie’s demo at the January meeting,…
Our “Easter” meeting was truly egg-cellent! The hall was packed with over 30 members in attendance… …and the afternoon tea station was groaning under the weight of Easter goodies.

Our final meeting for 2014 wrapped up today in a bundle of sewing, socialising and show & tell. A lovely turn out with lots of regulars and a new face revamping her mum’s retro curtain quilt. Jodie did a great job updating us with committee news and a shout out to Karen, we are all…
Another really well attended meeting with a few new faces and lots of regulars to welcome them! Everyone found a spot to sew, a cuppa and, if they were lucky, one of the amazing scones with jam and cream…. Emmy provided members with the final installment of the QAYGFMQAL by showing us how to join…

Members and visitors always…
