 The
Template is our colourful quarterly newsletter full of information
about the many and varied Guild events and activities.
When’s the next Burwood meeting? How can I go on
a weekend away with quilters? What are the categories in the next
Quilt Show? The Template aims to provide you with answers in one
easy location.

The editor is always on the lookout for articles and
photos of what quilters have been doing so feel free to contact her if
you have anything to share.
Is your quilt group holding a show or hosting a quilt-related
event? Provide us with all the details and we’ll list it in the calendar.
The first priority for our newsletter is to be a
newsletter, reflecting the diverse and remarkable activities of our Guild
and our members.
Contact the editor via email: editor@quiltersguild.nsw
or by post through the office.
A note on
submitting photos or images:
We want your photos
to look as good as possible – help us help you by providing them as high-resolution,
good quality images (aim for over 500K and closer to 1MB if possible for
digital images).
Also, if you’re providing images,
please provide detailed captions – who’s in the picture? What are they
doing? What’s the name of the quilt and quiltmaker? At which event was
this taken? When? Where? And supply contact details (preferably by an email
address) so if the Editor needs to check, she knows who to ask.
