Next meeting is on Wednesday 13 September, 10am for a 10.30am start, in the CQ room at the Cook Community Hub. We are having a break because of the timing of the exhibition. But don’t worry, an extra draw was done so you don’t miss making something for August.
A quilt is made over the year by each member making their own rows, or blocks or items like bags. A list of ingredients is released at the beginning of the year and at each meeting two items are chosen to incorporate into that month’s design challenge. One will be a colour and one will be an additive. For instance- each row contains two “ingredients”, e.g. purple and geometry, but in whatever way the maker chooses. As the name shows, this can be a noisy group! So far we have had:
# | Colours | Additives | Inspirations |
1 | Turquoise | Paints/ pencils/ dyes/ ink | Letters |
2 | Red | Recycled/ leftovers/ found objects | Earth, water, fire and air |
3 | Purple | Geometry | Celebrations |
4 | Yellow | Threads/ Stitches | Opposites |
5 | Green | Embellishments | Animal, vegetable, mineral |
6 | Pink | Linen / silk/ lace | Heritage, tradition |
7 | Neutral | Print/ words | Numbers |
(Remember that you can choose an INSPIRATION for the whole year or be inspired by what’s chosen on a month-by-month basis. Up to you.)
Here are some images from our last get two meetings on 12 July and 14 June.
