Early October Bay Quilters had their annual weekend retreat. On the Saturday we had an embroidery workshop run by a generous member - embroidery extraordinaire Sandra. A few members participated leaning new skills. The first three photos are some pictures of member's embroidery work shown at the retreat.

There was also a lot of hand sewing going on, and the remaining six pictures show some of our talented member's work.

Congratulations to Bay Quilters member Tess for winning Highly Commended in the Modern Quilt, One Person Category, at Victorian Showcase this year. Her quilt is called Walking with Triangles and it is stunning. Well done Tess!

At Bay Quilters’ August meeting we had one of our members, Margaret, who will be 98 years young (on her birthday in November) share some of her quilts that she has made over her lifetime.

It was an absolute treat to see these stunning and intricate quilts and Margaret’s beautiful workmanship. It was awe inspiring to see her lifetime’s work. Thank you Margaret for sharing.

The first quilt is Margaret's favourite. But I don't know if I could pick a favourite from all these beauties.

A few weeks ago, Bay Quilters had an Applique Sampler workshop with Irene Blanck where members that participated were taught her applique technique. I have heard that some members have already finished the workshop’s project so hopefully there will be some show and tell at the July general meeting to look forward to.

Bay Quilters Contemporary group met earlier this month. The theme was Colour Value with the exercise of creating the appearance of a sphere just by using colour value placement. It was a very successful day.

Our guest speaker at the May general meeting was Barbie Mitchel. Her quilts were inspiring and we all enjoyed hearing about her creative journey.

We also had some beautiful quilts displayed around the hall from our members and here are two of them.

Bay Quilters Contemporary Group meets every two months, and this year the focus is on design. In April’s meeting twelve members brought in their blocks based on the drawing game ‘Exquisite Corpse’ that was February’s task. Each member had made three pieces, a head, body and legs/tail.

They were then randomly swapped and these three photos are the result.

The plan is to now put them together into a quilt.

What a fun and creative project and the detail on these blocks are fabulous. Do you have a favourite?

On the 12th of April Bay Quilters donated 120 quilts to the victims of the January/February 2026 fires in the Central Victorian areas of Harcourt, Sutton and Longwood.

Pictured are four committee members presenting the quilts to Fire Chief Andrew of Harcourt Fire Brigade, other members of the fire department, and their families.

These quilts are being distributed to other fire stations in the impacted area for families that have unfortunately lost their homes.

A big thank you to Susanne, our Quilts From The Heart committee member for coordinating this tremendous effort, and for all the members who donated.
