Quilts for Love and Care

These are two examples of quilts suitable for the Love and Care project. The first is a panel that has been "bagged" and the other is an I-spy quilt - a good way to use up little pieces.
Quilts are needed for children that have been removed from difficult situations and have nothing of their own.
If the quilt is backed with fleece there is no need for wadding.

Flood donation

A further $5,000 has been given by the Piecemakers group to the QCWA flood appeal.

New date for workshop

The workshop at Emu Park will now be held on March 19th and 20th. Hope you can come.

Fashionable Bursary Recipient

Sarah Armstrong was awarded a $500 bursary from QCWA. She is from Mt Morgan and is studying textile, clothing and footwear at MSIT in Brisbane. She has put the award towards fees, a pattern making text book and purchasing an industrial sewing machine.
The photo shows her modeling her fabulous creation at the 2nd year fashion night.
We wish her well in her studies and hopefully we will see more of her lovely work in the future.

"Love and Care" project

This project will be adopted in 2011. It is to make a 40" square child's quilt with a pieced front and poly fleece back - no need for wadding. The quilts will be given to a child, as soon as possible when they have been removed from their home by the Department of Child Safety or the Police.
