 Di brought in this amazingly vibrant Material Obsession Block of the Month quilt!

 Therese had a panda bag

 Deb brought in a quilt which she only recently finished.  It was begun back in 1999!

 and Deb also completed a quilt which had been commenced by a past member, Glenda

Deb also had some re-visited blocks from her "Naturally Australian" quilt class

We had a very special guest, Margaret Rowe - textile artist, quilt maker and author, come and speak in particular about The Australian Challenge Quilt Series of books which she has written and published.  It was such a pleasure to meet her and listen to the stories behind the books and see the quilts that were inspired from them. 
We also finalised our Christmas meeting (as it will sneak up on us in no time) and further discussed our bi-annual quilt exhibition which will be held in March 2015. 

And just to let you know there is an upcoming sale at Patchworks Unlimited (of 25 Pascoe Street, Pascoe Vale) if you are around that way.  There will be various celebrations during the week commencing on Monday 22 September, as well as a monthly special of 20% off all bolted Bali fabrics. 

Well that's about it for now.  Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
