My Quilt group range from 30 to 60+ at a time. We start the second week in January and go to first week in December. There are women and some men or partners of the pensioner ladies who come along to out bus trips and help out for our Challenge Day in July with setting up the hall for the great day. The ladies do a range of things from knitting, crocheting, quilting and other crafts and there are plenty of women who are willing to teach us HOW TO do things. At the moment one Great lady is teaching us the machine Quilting techniques. The ages range from 8 years old to 95 years and Boy do we have a fun morning every Wednesday morning. We pay $10Au yearly and $2Au every day which goes to a nominated charity.
