October 8 was our annual open meeting and we had an excellent turn out!
During the extended social time, we had three demonstrations: a patchwork bag by Sheila, the AccuCutter by Assumpta, and the Block of the Month, Wyoming Beauty.
We started the meeting with a few announcements. These included:
- The Knitting and Stitching Show is happening October 20-23 in Dublin. You can find out more information and buy tickets from the website.
- The Open European Quilt Championships are happening the same weekend in Maastricht. You can find more information from the website.
- Members should have received their latest newsletters. Deadline for the next issue is October 20th.
- Our November meeting will be a joint meeting between the Southern branch and the Mid-Western Branch. Two shops will also be joining us for the meeting, Lismore Quilts and Sew Crafty Fabrics. We’ll also be having an open sew afternoon!
Next, John O’Donnell from Singer Sewing Centre in Waterford gave us talk and answered questions from the members.
Next, our members gave us a spectacular Show and Tell. Look at all of the amazing work!
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting happening November 19th!
