Grand Finale



MPPI QUILTING ADVENTURES BLOG – MY GRAND FINALE


I know it’s been a while since the last blog – November 2013.  However, as promised, here I am with a report on the MPPI Christmas break up lunch, held at the Dava Hotel in Mount Martha.  Once again the event was very well attended. 
We all put on our best voices to sing some Christmas Carols, and enjoyed a very tasty traditional Christmas Lunch.  The staff at the Dava were very friendly and provided very good service.  Sarah Simcock, the Coordinator of our Quilt Exhibition held at Toorak College in November  2013 presented Beverly Young with the Viewer’s Choice for Best Quilt Award for her “Tumbling Blocks” quilt.  Congratulations Bev.  We also had several raffle prizes and a good time was had by all.

Christmas came and went very quickly and our first meeting for the year was on 13 January 2014, with the new Committee taking over.  This means that I am writing my last Blog as ex President of MPPI.



One last duty for me to perform was the Exhibition of the quilts made at the Noriko Endo Workshop “Confetti Naturescapes” held in April, 2013.  These quilts are currently displayed in the Foyer of the Mornington Library, thanks to Andrea Ebsworth, Cultural Planner of Libraries, arts and Culture, Mornington Peninsula Shire. They will be there until 28 March 2014 for the general public to enjoy.

I would now like to thank everyone at MPPI for their support over the last 4 years during my Vice and Presidency, and wish the new President, Sandra Fisher and her team all the very best success in their positions.

Au Revoir!
