Kurralta Park Kindergarten
I have been busy making new doll's bed patchwork quilts for the kindy where my daughter has just taken up the job of director, 2 little bed /bassinet quilts and 2 for doll prams. I will try to post pictures in the fullness of time. Margot (said daughter) gave me measurement in cm, so I had to make them up as near as possible in quilter's inches ! I had equipped the other Kindy (Plympton Sth) with quilts and cushions and things. I am enjoying doing this as I am the proud owner of a new sewing machine.........Bernina 440 with the BSR ...............Stitch Regulator, so I can practise on small projects. This is a practice Blog Post too so hope it works. Thanks to Judi for the welcome and info . Barbara C.

There was much discussion about the bus trips, workshops, fundraising raffles, community projects and social get togethers that we shared over the past year and everyone agreed that it was a successful year.
It was decided to elect an assistant treasurer to share the many tasks of the job of treasurer. The role of Promotions officer / Newsletter coordinator has been added to the position of Vice President.
The first workshop of the year was discussed and it has been agreed that we will work together to make a joint fundraising / community quilt. We will begin this on 8th July 2008.
