The LHS quilt belongs to June Walters from Gympie South Burnett Branch and it is made up of hand embroidery, applique and pieced patchwork. The Stack and Whack in the glorious blue Hydrangea pattern belongs to Mary Wells and is the result of the Parkhurst Workshop taught by Gay Burey.
The display of wheelchair Bags with quilts and smaller items in the background at Central Regional Meeting. Various members made the bags and the other items made by Sara Faddy from Maleny Branch
QCWA is divided into three Regions, Northern, Central and Southern. Recently Central Region had their meeting and here a couple of photos from their display. The Challenge Quilt for this year is "Singing the Blues" and these quilts will be hung and judged at State Conference in the Brisbane City Hall (Balmoral Suite) on 28th - 30th October 2008. Southern Regional meeting is to be held on 17th - 20th September in Warwick. Our annual charity this year is making wheelchair bags for the Multiple Sclerosis Society (this is the third year we will have presented M.S. with colourful and patchwork wheelchairs bags) These will be presented to Heather Winning of Cranston Lodge, the residential care facility of the Society, by our Chairman, Jan Ross during the State Conference.
