Queanbeyan Quilters Challenge - Home

 It was with great pleasure that I greeted Fiona Hammond of Creative Edge in Braidwood to our town today. She is our generous sponsor in the club challenge from 2020 called Home.

Participants were asked to make an embellished piece 30cm x 30cm incorporating elements that denote home to them. There was also a piece of fabric that had to be included in the work.

There were nine entries, each very different from the others and Fiona observed them all. After closer examination inside the shop window, she made her decisions.

April's Quilt Display is up

 So this morning, the 'old' display was taken down and up went another batch of quilts, some of them hot off the sewing machine! We do hope you will be able to catch a glimpse on your way to the coast or stop for a longer look and read while in Monaro Street in Queanbeyan. Riverside Plaza has been most generous to the arts groups, allowing us to display material in their windows.

This month we feature larger works by Sue Camm, Chris Charlton, Liz Hendrickson and smaller pieces from many members of the club. This month we not only have our Circular Signature blocks in hoops but also feature the Home Challenge, set for the 2020 Exhibition that never happened.

Raffle tickets are still available for the two quilts and the sewing machine; drawn on Mothers Day, 3pm 9th May.
