About Us

We are a quilt group in Cape Town, South Africa, that meets monthly, sharing our quilt passions. Started in 1999, we now have 50 quilters. All are being encouraged to share here as well.

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:

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!

March news

We had a great meeting on Saturday, in spite of the disappointment of the almost last-minute exhibition cancellation.  Lots of quilts for show and tell.

Our next meeting is on 11 April at 2 pm at St Pius X Plumstead's hall.





Meantime, go and have a look at "Stitched', the FACT exhibition on at Casa Labia in Muizenberg.

Casa Labia Gallery hours are 10h00 to 16h00 Tuesday to Sunday.



And don't forget to visit:  Kwilts innie Bos quilt exhibition that is scheduled to take place from
27 – 29 of March 2014 at the Blaauwklippen Wine Estate just outside Stellenbosch.


And don't forget to look out for the Block Draw instructions being emailed soon.  We want to see lots of entries!

Have a good month.
