Brisbane Gathering
If you're a SCQuilter in the Brisbane area, why not come along to our Brisbane get-togethers?
For those who have never been before,t he meetings are held from 10am to So you're just ie time to3pm on the 2nd Saturday of every month (excluding January and December). So you're just in time to come along to the first one of the year.
The group meets in the charity room, upstairs at the Quilters Store on Evans Rd, Mt Gravatt. We usually make a donation to the charity group of $1 for every hour we attend, which goes towards buying fabric and wadding for the charity quilts.
Tea and coffee are provided but BYO lunch (there is a fridge for keeping things cool, and a microwave for heating things up).
All Scquilters are welcome, so why not come along?

SCQuilters Retreat 2013
Yes, once again, we're holding a SCQuilters Retreat and, this year, it will be in Bendigo in Victoria from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 July 2013. We had a very successful Retreat there in 2007, so I'm sure this one will be brilliant!
The venue will be the Quality Resort All Seasons Bendigo (you can check them out by following the link). I believe the accommodation at the resort is fully booked already but there's still accommodation at the nearby Golden Reef Motor Inn or Best Western Crystal Inn and, of course, there are many other accommodation options in Bendigo.
There's a great range of classes to choose from, and already a couple of interesting challenges. You can check out the details on the SCQuiltersVIC blog . So c'mon down, SCQuilters!
