NEW YORK QUILT WORKSHOP

This was the scene I found when I called in after lunch on the first day of the New York quilting Workshop which was the last of the workshiops funded this year by our Council Grant.

Everyone was very busy and working VERY hard!

They had strange bits of paper with lots of arcs, rulers and pencils.

It looked VERY technical.

There wasn't much talking....................

...but everyone seemed happy!

These are some of the pieces that were made on the first day.

Vert complicated!

I hope to be able to share a finished product with you sometime in the future.

IRISH MORNING TEA

As the country of study this year is Ireland, our International Morning tea was a blaze of emarald green.

Decoration, food and clothing all reflected the country of study.

There were puzzles, Irish jokes and interesting information on life in Ireland

and light-hearted entertainment provided by our own Drama Queens.

and we finished off with an Irish sing-a-long.......

before we all tucked in to a fabulous morning tea.

and a lovely parting gift from Ellen.

Another fantastic function !

ANNUAL MEETING

Our yearly Annual Meeting is an important occasion.......

 .... so the meeting was begun with items sung by our own choir.....

.

and ended with a solo performance by Rebecca our Choir Master 

After the meeting the usual bountiful morning tea was served.

 

and friendships were renewed.
