Geelong Quilters Guest Speaker this Saturday

I am the guest speaker this Saturday the 21st of April at the Geelong Patchwork and Quilters Guild.
Its at the Regent Street Masonic Hall in Belmont from 1pm.

I will be talking about my love affair with scrap quilts and finishing off old quilts, from finding old blocks and tops to sourcing fabrics and threads of the same eras. I will have a selection of fabrics from the United States from the 1930s to 1960s available on the day as well.

I will also be talking about my recent trip to India where I went to work with a Social Enterprise Stitching Group run by Textile Artist Fiona Wright. I will also have plenty of her Pukka Components available for sale on the day. These are packs of silks, hand looms and other interesting cloths and fibres and other goodies.
