“Behind The
Quilt”
It had
been a big 2009 for the ladies at Tuross Head Bowling Club and winter
had turned on a pretty chilly spell of weather and with it, came
an interruption, to our usual social bowls.
In the appropriate role of welfare officer, Doreen Monks suggested,
that a good remedy for fighting those winter blues, was to get together
and make a quilt!
Doreen who has already made her mark on the quilting world, with
several prizes for her work in exhibitions at Darling Harbour, was
there to impart her expertise to a few novices and with talent aplenty
existing with the twenty two ladies brandishing needle and thread,
the quilt squares began to take form.
It is amazing how therapeutic candle wicking is even the…
“can’t sew to save herself” publicity officer
was in on the act.
Almost twelve months in the making and Doreen’s time and efforts
taxed to the absolute limit, it was suggested that we should raffle
the quilt and raise a little money, so with that in mind the Quilters
Guild were requested to appraise our work.
Nobody expected the Guild to value our quilt, for the staggering
sum of $3,500! We all thought we’d done good, obviously the
Guild felt we’d done better.
Tickets are on sale now for a mere $2.00 each and the draw will
take place on Mother’s Day, in May 2010 and when the winner
is announced, we hope it goes to somebody’s special MUM.

Welfare Officer”.
