An Grianan photos!

Thirteen of us from our branch made the trip up to An Grianan this past weekend.  I have uploaded photos to our online archive at Flickr but thought I'd share some of them here on the blog and on our Facebook page too!

An Grianan Challenge:
The An Grianan Challenge is "Celebrating Stitch" - make a 1 metre length of bunting which represents your hobby. The pennant can be any shape you like but no more than 8.5" in length or 5.5" in width or diameter.

 The bunting will be redistributed to the branches for use within the branch to bring attention to exhibitions or meetings.

 

An Grianan 2012

Hello All,

We are getting close to An Grianan now and bookings are at a viable stage.  We have had to drop four of the teachers as they were not booked but there are still five great teachers available and it is sizing up to be a great weekend.  

We were hoping that at branch meetings over the next couple of weeks, members could be reminded of an Grianan at meetings.  So, could you remind chairs of the branches to announce the details again (which are in the last newsletter and also on the website).

The tutors' workshops which still may be booked are:

Susan Briscoe,

Jenny Rolfe,

Joke Buursma,

Terri McNeill

Ann O'Rafferty.  

It is important to send in the application form asap and to indicate 2nd preferences as some of these are almost full (most especially Jenny Rolfe). Application form was in the Autumn Newsletter and is also available on the Irish Patchwork Society blog (Irish Patchwork Blog)

Please as well remind people that they can come and do their own thing for €200 for bed and meals.

The shop will be the Limerick Quilt Centre (Maeve Meany).
