Welcome to the Poppy's Blog!!

Outback Scrap

As the intensely popular annual Outback Scrap weekend comes ever closer we thought that the
best way to get the info out to everyone is via the Poppy Blog. Due to some admin issues this will be our new blog address. The link from the Hughenden website will be updated very soon.


Want to learn to quilt? Or would you like any excuse to use up some of your stash?

We are also considering hosting a 'quilt along'. Step by step photos and instructions for a monthly block will be posted on the blog as well as 'in the flesh' sessions at the craft cottage. If this is a project you could get your teeth or needles (!) into please vote on the survey on the right.

If we go ahead we will require ideas of blocks from our more savvy quilting members starting with a simple block for beginners and working up to a more complex block by the end of the quilt along. So get your thinking caps on. (Kerry - I am sure a crazy patch will be appreciated!)


The aim of the blog?

We would love this blog to become a meeting place for all current and prospective members of the Poppy - especially if you can't get to the cottage. So if you have any completed projects you would like to show off please email me - margbolam@bigpond.com

Who am I you may ask? My name is Marguerite Bolam - please call me Marg. I moved to Hughenden in December as a Train Driver. Am loving living here and am rapt that there is such a great group to be involved in. When the hardworking committee needed a help with the blog I jumped in. So I hope to meet more of you in the future.
