Thanks girls.

From 10:00 

Tea, coffee and a biscuit will be available courtesy of Joanne and Yvonne. Mingle and chat to old friends and meet some new friends
Consider buying ballot tickets. YOU could win the beautiful hand made quilt generously donated by our own very talented Yvonne. 

Charity Table

Take time to browse the Charity Table and hopefully pick up a bargain that will come in handy some day.This is an opportunity to declutter your sewing room. Do try to bring items for the Charity Table folded and realistically  priced. Any unsold items should be collected and taken home again as we don’t have any storage. Please bring cash with you. 

Thank you Ella for organising this. 

10:30

Take your seats to listen to our very own Irene inspire us with her presentation. 
Finish around noon. 

Checklist to bring:  

Mug for tea/coffee.   Cash for raffle and Charity Table. 

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday
