We started off with Claire giving out announcements, telling us about various exhibitions we might like to go to. She also reminded us that if we wanted to be a member again next year we had to pay our £30 subs by the end of the May meeting. Our AGM is to be in June this year.

There were 4 demonstration tables for us to visit.

How to re-size blocks either using a gauge or “% maths”. She also warned us to re-measure after taking the photocopy as it distorts it.

How to make a double quilt binding, which gives a nice edging without hand sewing.

How to do a mitred corner and join binding when already stitched on the quilt.

How to make a hanging sleeve for exhibitions.

We all had a very enjoyable evening and came away with new skills to try.

Thank you to Eileen, Jill, Claire and Anne for all their tips and advice.
