Last meeting, details of our new Club Group Quilt were released. This group quilt is open to all QQ members and has already attracted interest from the organisations that displayed the River Quilts this year. The quilt will also form a special exhibition at the QQ Exhibition in 2014.

A garden themed member’s
exhibition featuring small wall hangings, made to the dimensions indicated
above. These will hang next to each other (as with the River Quilts) and will
hang on 2 levels. This project is open
to all members but is limited to the number of fat quarters we have, which is 50.
A green batik fabric, to be
supplied by Claire Ayling, must be a part of each quilt. There is no limit on
the amount to be used. The fabric is available from Robyn or Kay in fat quarter
pieces at a cost of $4.50 each.
Claire has asked that this
group quilt be made available for exhibiting in Goulburn and it will feature at
the Queanbeyan Visitor’s Information Centre as part of Queanbeyan’s 175th
Anniversary (28 September 2013) and also for the week before Floriade.
You can select - a season,
day or night, sunrise/sunset, a specific Country icon, a city garden, a feature
such as a bridge, boat, cottage, flowers, trees, weeds, animal or bird/s, flat
scene, hilly, mountains, city buildings. …in fact anything goes as long as
there is a garden theme to it.
The quilt should be the
standard 3 layers. Any technique can be
used – embroidery, photos, bargello, painted, representational, abstract,
blocks, work inspired by workshops such as by Fiona Hammond, Kim Bradley,
Gloria Loughman or Helen Godden. Adornments can be added – beads, trimmings, 3D
work etc.
If you need images try going
to www.google.com.au and click on images
(at the top left of the page) - try keywords such as garden, flowers, bridge,
waterfall, mountain stream, autumn, spring, garden fountain and any other words
connected with paths and tracks. Try adding the word ‘quilt’ to your keyword
search to see quilts made to the theme.
The quilt remains your
property although we may ask to borrow it for exhibiting elsewhere.
Your quilt must have a label
that includes your name and what inspired you.
Have fun with this challenge
and we look forward to seeing your quilt.
