Show us your knickers!!!
Besides eating cake, members whipped out their knickers for the latest charity endeavour at our June meeting. Here’s Carla holding up her Bond-girl undies…
And Jodie showing us what she’s going to be wearing when she heads off to the Moulin Rouge next month! Come along and see the finished Quilt at the Claremont Craft Fair on 2-4 August!
Wonky star winners
Two winners of the wonky star competition have been drawn at random. After two efforts to get unbiased number drawers, I asked new member Nikki, who I judged was too new to have been corrupted yet… Nikki chose number 12 for her grandson’s birthday and number 5 for his age.
Janine was lucky number 12 and wins a bundle of 10 Fat Quarters from Handcrafters House. Number 5 was Emme who is away in Ireland for a month but wins a pattern from Sara atSewSweetness.com on her return! Thanks to everyone who entered – it was fantastic to see such a range of wonky star projects come out of the challenge. If you missed the blog post, you can see them all here. An honourable mention HAS to go to our new VP – Membership, Karen, for the tiniest weeniest wonky stars in existence!

Incoming Treasurer Bev Power had a very special Show ‘n’ Tell for us. Her ‘Hugh’ Quilt was published in the June edition of Australian Patchwork and Quilting. Congratulations Bev!
