New Year, New Projects and perhaps some headway made through the growing pile of UFO's

February brings with it another year of gatherings, workshops and plenty of quilt making for Kilmore Quilters.   We have a lot planned for this year with five workshops, plenty of 12hr Sit n Sews, a retreat in May and of course our Quilt Show in October.

The life of a quilter is certainly not an idle one and our ladies are no exception, I've seen great progress made on our Honour quilts, many took up the challenge set by Maree early last year. The majority of whom seem to be well on the way to completing that challenge - well done ladies, it will be exciting to see those quilts over the coming months.   Some of those who took on the Honour Quilt challenge were already well on their way with their Nearly Insane quilts, again we are all looking forward to seeing their progress.

Those ladies who haven't taken on the Honour Quilt challenge have been busy finishing off a lot of their UFO's, with this much activity so early in the year we should have a wonderful variety of quilts at our quilt show later in the year.

This month we will be having the first of our 12hr Sit n Sews.  This is scheduled for the 13th of February during which the ladies will be completing blocks for one of our Raffle quilts along with working on items for the Trade table and taking time out to complete work on some of their own quilts.

Our first gathering of the year is Wednesday evening the 18th of February, with our day gathering on the following Tuesday the 24th.

Our first workshop of the year is in March with Lizzie Allen - any members interested in doing this workshop should contact Jenny as soon as possible.

On a side note: we will be featuring quilts from our last Quilt show on our Facebook Page cover over the coming months as a small taster of the type of quilts you may see at this years Quilt Show.
