More about our first 2009 Workshop

DATE: 17th and 18th January 2009
VENUE: Coolwaters Holiday Village, Kinka Beach
TUTOR: Ruth Wagner from Mt Perry

The workshop will be exploring using your stash of hand dyed fabrics, batik collections or commercial prints in a contemporary style creating table runners or cloths. These are good training pieces for your better quilts and you will learn about blending colours as well as learning some new techniques. The weekend will be divided into 4 sessions each covering separate techniques used in contemporary quiltmaking. (a) Strip Insertion (b) Foundation Piecing/Curved Piecing (c) Curved Piecing/Applique (d) Improvisational Piecing.

The cost of this workshop will be $60.00 total for the two days which will include the tutoring, morning and afternoon teas and lunches on both days.

There is very good accommation available at Coolwaters which I can fully recommend. $25.00 per night (no Linen) staying at the Lodge which we have booked but as beds are limited anyone interested would need to let our Treasurer, Joy Mackenzie, know early.
