Activities

The aim of this group is to allow members to share their love of patchwork and quilting. At most meetings members bring their ongoing projects to show others and ask for advice. We initially made sampler quilts to teach beginners basic techniques. Since then occasional all day workshops have been held (5 or 6 a year) and it is planned for this to continue. If possible these are led by a group member but we intend to invite outside teachers as and when needed. We have also had occasional visits to our regular meetings from local quilters to show their work.

If you are interested please contact the convenor. No knowledge of patchwork and quilting is needed but basic sewing skills (ideally including  possession of and familiarity with a sewing machine) are an advtantage.
