Open Houses Planned

We are hoping that this weekend's members exhibition will get some more people interested in quilting and Queanbeyan Quilters. 

We will open our doors to people who have an interest with Open House days at the Letchworth Centre on
Saturday 5th May & Saturday 12th May, 1pm to 4pm.

Members will run hands-on introduction to quilting sessions to show off various aspects of quilting and talk with beginning quilters and prospective members.

You can bring something of your own to work on or join in on a charity quilt.

Sneak Peak of River Quilts Display & Raffle Quilts for QQ 2012 Exhibition

The more than 100 quilters who came from far and wide to hear Luana Rubin’s talk on Saturday were also treated to a sneak peak of Queanbeyan Quilters’ River Quilt display. The idea is based around an exhibit of River Quilts at the National Quilt Museum, Paducah, Kentucky, USA.

QQ members were told to create a small quilt with a river flowing side to side using whatever technique, style and inspiration that moved them. This is just a small section of the river. Come see the entire 30+ quilt panel river at the Queanbeyan Quilters’ 2012 Exhibition on the 28th and 29th April.
