October Meeting

Since its inception Sunshine Linus has been a source of inspiration. 

Walking around the vast array of products on display this month Susanna remarked, ‘every time I come here I find something else to do’.  

FREEBIE TABLE

Jenny sorted out the patterns and there are now physical patterns available at the Freebie Table. If members take one (1) pattern, please replace with two (2) copies. Digital patterns will still be available on the blog including for this gorgeous Koala Lovey.

This baby pack pictured below is stocked with everything a new mum would need was made by Sue from Kilcoy with items from the Freebie Table.

Christmas has arrived at THE SALES TABLE ! 

 A great place to visit for stocking fillers.
