Show n Tell October 2015

It was nice to be back in our usual venue (Maunu School Hall) after the cramped, but nice Vintage Car Club rooms. Taking photos of the Show n Tell was so easy with all the space!

The guest speaker at the meeting was Charlotte Scott (the slightly mad quilt lady). Charlottes talk covered so much, from how her style has evolved, to blogging and podcasting, and to running a gallery. Please go and visit Charlottes blog (link as above-her podcasts are there too). And if you are near Opua, a visit to her Gallery is well worth it.

The Gallery's location circled in red, just on the end of the Opua Marina.
