Next meeting is on Wednesday 11 October, 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.
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 |
| 8 | Orange | Improvisation | Home and family |
(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 meeting on 13 September.
