Spring is well and truly here with lots of blossom and buds on the trees.

The May meeting is on Saturday 6 May in St Dorotheas, Gortland Park Belfast

[Postcode is BT5 7NQ, for your SatNav

Situated at the junction of the Gilnahirk Road and the Lower Braniel Road.]

As usual doors open at 10.00 a.m. with tea & coffee.

The speaker is Pauline Openneer from Donegal whose talk is entitled “Tweeds and More”.

Sundays workshop is in the Museum as usual, where we shall be making a Caroline Bag. You can make the bag in any fabric you like.

The last workshop of this quilting year is on Friday 12 May in Orangefield Presbyterian Church, Castlereagh Road from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.

The tutor is our own Valerie McKeown, and she will be teaching us to make a Dragonfly Cushion. I think there are still a couple of places left.

The June meeting is our AGM and I am hoping that we will get some names for committee as there are 4 vacancies.

If you are willing to serve please speak to me or a committee member at next Saturdays meeting.

Cuddlies;

Well done everyone.

We have to date 154 Cuddlies, well over the target of 100 for the Neonatal Unit at the Royal Maternity Hospital.

If any one has any more please bring them on Saturday as I would like to hand them over at the A.G.M.

Hope to see you all on Saturday.

Brenda

The NIPG, as we are affectionately known, welcomes anyone interested in any aspect of patchwork and/or quilting, in whatever form. Beginner, advanced or in between. The Guild usually meets on the first Saturday of the month in the Parochial Hall of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra, Co Down, Northern Ireland. Contact us for more information. Meetings open around 10.30 am with tea/coffee for which we charge a small visitor's fee. This is quite informal. The meeting proper begins with 'housekeeping' - various announcements relevant to our members. Often we will have engaged a speaker of note, which is sometimes followed by a workshop/ sew-in. Full day workshops are held on Sundays. We have had speakers and teachers from USA, Germany, Holland, England, not forgetting the excellent people who are locally based.

Hi Mary, The cuddlies are baby blankets for the babies in Neontal Intensive Care Unit. There is a pattern on the Current Projects section. Thank you for asking.
