Meets at:

Good Shepherd Hall, 101 Joslin Street, Kotara South NSW 2289

Fees: $30 per year

Our focus is on stitching and friendship. Our new hall has been well received by all members. It is a very warm and happy place to meet.

We have a Presidents challenge every second year. Our plan this year (due to covid)  is to have some in house stalls and raffles,  morning teas and twice a year have an open day by inviting a group eg. quilters, craft or textile therefore having control of numbers coming.

Most members bring their own cup and also lunch. Our meetings are lively with lots of chatter and laughter while stitching.
