Welcome and introduction to our Branches

Hello and welcome to our first blog. I thought it would be useful to introduce you to some of our Piecemakers branches.

Brisbane has two groups –
CITY PIECEMAKERS meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in a meeting room of the new City Library. Recently they had a bag workshops but mainly members hand sew their current projects.

MOGGILL PIECEMAKERS meet at Bellbowrie the 2nd Thursday each month. Moggill is made up of 15 members and they are currently finishing off a Mystery Quilt designed and taught by Lynne. We will post photos as soon as possible.

Capricornia Division has been extremely busy –
PARKHURST PIECEMAKERS have been kept busy preparing traditional blocks. Each fortnight they make two of the chosen blocks and then pool the 28 blocks. When they have finished making the 14 different blocks, they have a block draw and each one will win one of the groups of 28 blocks. They expect to be finished about the end of September. Photos will follow.

RIDGELANDS BRANCH has a group who meet each Tuesday. A workshop has been organised for May 2008. Lynne will teach Bargello.

EMU PARK PIECEMAKERS meet each Tuesday and have just held their biannual Quilt Show on Saturday, 18 August. Photos are coming.

AMBROSE BRANCH hosted a Kaleidoscope Pinwheels (Stack and Whack) workshop on 5/6 May taught by Gay.

WESTERN AREAS. Charleville Group CWA Warrego Piecemakers meet next on 6th September. Roma hosted a “Lone Star” workshop with Gay on 24 August.
