This will also be a bring-a-friend day, ALL visitors may enter for free. New members can also take advantage of the membership special - only pay R120 for 18 months - so you are a member from Aug 2014 until May 2016! Join us at 9.30 for shopping at our vendors hall and the meeting follows at 12.00.
You'll find us at the Northlink College, Tygerberg Campus, Rothschild Boulevard, off Plattekloof Rd, Panorama (opposite Panorama Clinic). Take Exit 18 from the N1 heading from Cape Town towards Paarl.

Meeting and Block for June...
The Creative meeting will be on Saturday 21 June. The block for this month's Block Draw is a Double-Four-Patch. I thought it would be simple to add a pdf file here, but not so! Yes, one can do it by using Google Docs or loading to a file-sharing server, but I am avoiding that route for now. So I will email everyone.

Weekend at Goedgedacht
I only have a couple of (grainy) photos of the weekend at glorious Goedgedacht, sorry!
This photo was taken from almost one end of the Barn, just one table behind. The 24 of us each had a trestle table, no round tables like before. We didn't need to light the fire until Saturday as the weather was balmy warm on Friday night. A wonderful thunderstorm could be seen towards Cape Town in the early hours of Saturday. Food was delicious as was the company! We had dinners and breakfast provided but we bought own lunches. Wanted to stay and sew longer, but looking forward to next year - Simmy has booked this venue for two weekends!
Ann vdR laid out the centimeter blocks and the other duplicate/odd size blocks from our first block-draw which she volunteered to sew up - I think it will make a sweet quilt. Thanks, Ann!

April meeting and Blogging
I added the group email address to this blog as a recipient (so all the group members will get the blog-post in their email), and after adding a couple of test posts, I thought that my idea of sending everyone the posts didn't work! But it did! I just didn't check my spam folder! There were the two test messages sitting quietly waiting for me to eventually go and see what is in the spam folder. So, it seemed to work. The notification only goes out once, within 24 hours of publishing the post.
The point of this is that anyone in the group may write a post, even add a photo, and everyone will get emailed with the post. If you want to add a blog post, let me know and I'll add you as contributor (or whatever Blogger calls them). The blog is only open to invited contributors, but everyone in the world may read the blog on-line.
A reminder that the meeting for April will be held on Saturday 12th (not 11th!!!) at the church hall at 2pm.
Please find some time to go and visit the exhibition at Casa Labia. If clicking on the link doesn't open a page with the details, copy and paste this URL into your address bar:
http://casalabia.co.za/exhibitions/current-exhibitions/
The exhibition is the work of local fibre artists and is on until 13 April - and Ann tells me you can have tea there as well!
