The ROWmakers is a design group that meets once a month on the second Wednesday, February – December. The purpose of the group is to design and make a unique quilt-related project, over the course of the year, using ingredients drawn at random each month. The full list was published here. (ROW=Rowdy on Wednesday)
The next meeting is on Wednesday 9 May, 10am for a 10.30am start, in the CQ room at the Cook Community Hub. It is followed by a drop-in, until 4pm. So you can stay all day to sew.
Here are the ingredients drawn out for the first three rounds:
| # | Colours | Techniques | Alphabet |
| 1 | Green | Scraps | A |
| 2 | Blue | Tradition with a Twist | L |
| 3 | Neutral | Appliqué | P |
A number of members have chosen to stick with one technique throughout the year, e.g. Scraps, so they disregard what technique is drawn out each month. The adapt-a-block is best illustrated by Yvonne’s quilt from last year. She took one block and came up with many versions through colour and rotation and flipping. Here is an image:
At the last two meetings the responses to the first two rounds were revealed. Here are some images that show these responses (green is round 1, blue is round 2):
