An 'inbetween Blogs' Thank You blogpost. And ...... a very important 'Save the Date' date :) Pens ready?

Hello again Readers …. just a quick Blogpost this time, firstly to thank very much our regular offsite quilting team of Edith and Sylvia for the delightful quilts that they sent us recently. Once again absolutely wonderful thank you both so very very much for your kindness. Also for the beautiful knitted beanies that came with them … is there no end to your talents and generosity?

And from the very kind Kate Wright in Cobram … these beautifully bright quilt tops, together with spools of thread … always a welcome addition :) Many thanks Kate … these are just gorgeous and brightened up a chilly winters day :)

 

Also … a message I just received from our Deborah .. many thanks to these kind ladies in Warrandyte. We truly appreciate you :)

                    'Jennifer and friend from Warrandyte donation of furnishing fabrics. Great for aprons
                       and specialty crafts or quits backing. Jennifer is a member of the Draught Horse
                        group who found us last November at our stall at Mont Delancy Draught Horse

And now announcing ... in order for you to go thru your ‘stash’ and create 🤗 ... our very first QFO Festival of Quilts. Grab a pen and your calendar.

Below ....  we have our 'QFO brains trust' going through the plans we are putting in place for this inaugural November Event. We envisage a number of activities taking place during this Festival, a workshop, a quilting day and other opportunities for those attending to get the very most out of their time at Mont De Lancey. Watch our Website and our Facebook Page for updates as we fine tune all that we hope to be offering those attending.

This Festival is to be held at beautiful Mont De Lancey between Friday November 9th and Sunday November 18th 2018.

Details will be on our website in early August. 

 

Looking forward to an awesome Festival. More updates as they come to hand.
