Cool Waters Weekend - Ruth Wagner's Dyeing and Quilting Workshop
















A happy time was had by the 21 members who attended this workshop. All managed to attend despite some having difficulty arriving because of the wonderful rain Central Queensland recieved. The workshop with Ruth was a delighful experience, where we were all able to drown ourselves in colour with the results being spectacular. We were encouraged to venture into the unknown with wonderful threads and techniques of quildig on our dyed fabrics. The weekend was full of fun and friendship and here are some of the results.




















These photos are quilts created byRuth using her dyed fabrics and free motion machine quilting techniques.
