With most restrictions lifted and between waves of Covid 19, we were fortunate to be able to host a meeting for our loyal quilters. The theme for the day was hexagons and what a fun filled morning it was with even the lucky draw questions centering around hexagons like where in nature do you find hexagons etc.
Everybody were greeted warm and friendly at the door and given a package containing all the essentials needed to make a handy hexagon embellished holder for all those bits and pieces lying around one's quilting space.
A hostess at each table from the Uile (Owls) group demonstrated to all members how to go about it with Annelize Keéve (group leader) giving assembly instructions at the end. All attendees wore their masks the entire time and no refreshments were served to minimize contact as far as possible.

The members thoroughly enjoyed it and proudly displayed there stitched hexagons.
During show and tell a few gorgeous quilts were on display.

This twisted bargello was chosen as the winner. |
A pattern for a cute little octopus was also handed out to be knitted or crocheted for babies in the neonatal unit to keep those little fingers away from all the pipes and drains.
After the meeting all attendees could take a little snack with for the road and what more suitable than a cookie shaped in the form of a hexagon.
