Linus Quilts challenge 2022

Linus Quilts challenge opened and randomised packets of 2 fat quarters distributed to members during the April meeting. Guidelines for making Linus quilts and sizes can be found here. At the August meeting we had local Linus Co-ordinators to come along and talk about the Project. Three quilts were the visitors’ choice, in alphabetical order: Lucy’s, Rose’s, and Viv’s. See Gallery for quilt photos. Kathy gave us guidelines for making Linus quilts. The quilts were then collected up for distribution.

Mimram Quilters at the Denham Retreat March 2020

No group photo or group hug this year, but you might like to look at some of the projects that were being worked on. We had a fantastic time - brilliant organisation by Wendy. Thank you so much.
