National Quilt Day 2019

We held our National Quilt Day on the 9th of March.  Two courses formed part of the day which were brought to us from the girls of Amafu hand dyed fabrics.

Jane Renton taught her students how to quilt a mandala

 and Hanli Burger did a color burst class (when she wasn't selling fabric)...

At tea time we were treated to mouthwatering treats prepared by our own chair person, Mariëtte Venter.

2 Demo's during teatime by Alea Randlehoff from Quilt in Clarens fame taught us how to create perfect round circles as well as continuous prairie points.  I've found this tutorial on YouTube if you want to make your own.

Another successful event!
