4 May 2024 – Southern Branch Meeting. Sacred Heart Church Hall, Western Road, Cork. Guest Speaker: Tracy Wardle. Shop: Lismore Quilts

8 June 2024 – Southern Branch Meeting. Sacred Heart Church Hall, Western Road, Cork. Guest Speaker: Nikki Foley. Shop: The Sewing Shed

14-16 June 2024 National AGM hosted by Southern Branch. Cork International Hotel, Cork Airport Business Park, Cork Airport.

There was a real buzz at this month’s meeting as a good crowd gathered to look back at some of the highlights of the past year and begin to plan for the year ahead.

Patchwork Plus were the pop-up shop and were, as always on hand with a great range of fabric and notions.

There was an animated slideshow of a selection of quilts that members have displayed over the last 12 months, both in Show and Tell and at our exhibition. There was no guest speaker this month as time was taken for the AGM.

The Show and Tell this month included not just quilts but wall hangings, cushions, fabric baskets, an Ipad pouch, and an ingenious fabric card stand. A great reminder that it’s not all about bedcovers!

It’s full steam ahead now for a sewing summer including the southern branch welcoming members from across the country as Cork hosts the National AGM in June.  

NOTE: Next months meeting on the earlier date of Saturday 4 May.
