Whether you are interested in joining IPS or just want a fabric-related chat over a cup of tea, you are welcome to visit the Eastern Branch on Saturday, the 16th of November at St Anthony's House, Clontarf. See some members working on their current projects, admire the quilts on display, ask questions, share your sewing story and (maybe) fill in your membership form.

All Eastern branch members and visitors are invited to take part in our special festive meeting on 23d of November. Expect some fun and games, prizes and mince pies. Don't forget your Christmas sweaters and accessories, festive mood and, of course, the Christmas challenge, which this year is "Textile Christmas tree". Make sure your tree can fit through the door!

7-10 November, RDS

Irish Patchwork Society is going to have a stand at the show as usual and all members are invited to submit their quilt on the theme "There's Always One", A2 size, portrait orientation.
