CHALLENGE 2015

The challenge for 2015 is to make a small item for a child. The poster below shows how well the colours of beetroot work together. A boy's quilt could be predominantly green with some burgundy - let your imagination go and see what you can do! The winner is chosen by viewer's vote.

Colour at Conference

The Challenge to make something for the kitchen featuring citrus was very well supported with 44 entries. Citrus was the Primary Product to study this year and the bright colours made a very colourful display. There were aprons, casserole carriers, table runners & mats and even a recipe book. A wallhanging featuring a lemon tree was the 'Viewer's Choice'. It was made by Eileen Kenneck.

JELLY ROLLS - UNROLLED

At the recent workshop held at RFH in Brisbane a variety of colourful rolls of pre-cut fabric were put on tables. Two days later these strips were forming quilt tops and were almost ready to quilt.
The beginners class was an exercise in accurate cutting and sewing whereas the advanced class was very challenging - there was quite a bit of rearranging of strips.

 Everyone had their own table and there was plenty of room for ironing.
