Coolwaters Patchwork Weekend

On the Australia Day weekend the Queensland Piecemakers again hosted the Coolwaters Patchwork Workshop. Ruth bravely undertook the task of tutor to 23 ladies, in 3 entirely different levels of proficiency. Not an easy job, but Ruth in her usual calm, totally organised fashion, managed extremely well.

The workshop was held over two day, with the out-of -towners staying on site at "The Lodge". We had a wonderful weekend of patchwork, mixed with lots of laughter, loads of eating, enjoying making new friends and catching up with old friends.

A recipe for a very good time.

The comradre between us all was fantastic.

Those who were a little more confident than the others, were more than willing to become personal tutors to the not so confident.

We all worked happily together.

Joy managed to produce what seemed like dozens of cakes, slices and other delicacies for us to feast on, for all the morning and afternoon teas, we shared.

Stay tuned for more details!

Workshop Quilts

The beginners class worked on a nine patch project.

Kath was very proud of her new found talents.

The advanced class worked on strips and curves.

Christine thought she would do a Christmas theme for a change!

The intermediate group worked on a strip overlay. 

This is a completed intermediate project.  A great effort for one weekend.

SHOW AND TELL

We were lucky enough to have some clever patchworkers amongst us, who shared some of their finished projects.

It was a great pleasure to have been a member of this Workshop Weekend. 

We all certainly came away very enthused about Patchwork and the new skills we had mastered.
