Night Quilters Weekend Retreat

The night quilters divided into two groups of four and challenged each other to a weekend workshop. Using Monica Poole's Pattern of 5 different QAYG techniques we made 2 different quilts over the weekend as we learned the techniques.

Fabric and batting were cut prior to our start on Saturday.  We are very grateful to Sandra Dwell for her contribution to our charity efforts in supplying us with a lovely lunch each day of soup and breads.

We had a great time creating a boys and girls quilt for the children at Monash Cancer Center for Children in Clayton and learning the techniques.

We are very grateful to Sonja who is our most productive creator and quilter.  With a bit of time on her hand and being a whiz on the quilting machine and frame she whips up a few quilts in her spare time.

We are well on our way to our target of 29 quilts or more this year.
