Being part of a quilting group there is always inspiration for that threatening ton of fabric. Just do it! Ask one friend and your group will just happen. You will have an incredible quilting group in no time. Having said that I hope you don't live in some incredibly isolated place with no neighbours for miles and miles. Well keep writing and be part of ours. Cheers Cathie Hello Julie

It really is a most satisfying quilt to made. Happy sewing and let's see your version soon. Cheers Cathie Hello Sandra,

I was present when Cathie first caught the quilting bug and have observed her passion (some would say obsession)grow and attract other like-minded devotees. The skills and creativity (plus therapy) just flow through the fun and laughter while numerous friends and relatives, as well as charities, benefit by receiving one of these magical quilts-each with its special story like the Aussie quilt...and look at them finding their way all around the world! Amazing! May this new phase of the quilting tradition continue to flourish under this guild of creative experts. Well done ladies.

I am particularly impressed by the way the women in your group bonded together to help someone else out. I have never belonged to a quliting group, but a friend of mine who does has often spoken of the comfort the sessions bring to her. They obviously get the creative juices flowing too, because the quilts she has made for my son and daughter are truly gorgeous and are among my most treasured gifts. Who knows, maybe I'll catch the bug one day. I fear once I have, though, I may be buried in a ton of fabric. Good luck with the next venture. Jules Congratulations – what a beautiful piece of work!
