Destash Night

This month’s meeting will include a Destash sale instead of a speaker. This is a time where those members who wish to sell any Crafty items - fabric, patterns, embroidery, wool etc. can do so.

If you have any spare fabric bag it up into 250g bags and sell it off for $5.  Or maybe you have patterns you are never go to make again.  There is no cost for a table but you must book one so we can set up the room for the night.

To book a table call or text Donna ph 027 424 9060 or email kcqtreasurer@gmail.com

All items will be sold for CASH only

Fun with Fabric and Friends- Maree Luckman 

Maree has been quilting since 1984 and will show, and share the stories of, some of her favourite quilts. She will  fill you in on where they were made and who helped, because none of her quilts is an entirely "sole effort".  There is one quilt inner made by "Grandma Holdaway" in the 1960's - made with old woollen clothes - very old fashioned, and heavy.

Over the years Maree has been in quilt groups in California, Palmerston  North, Auckland and finally here.  Each place has brought new inspiration, and lasting friendships.

Philippa Doyle has been stitching for over 50 years and making quilts  for almost as long.  She is a past President of Wellington Quilters and has been involved with the last two Quilt Symposiums held in Wellington.  She has recently returned from a textile tour to India and will be telling us about the magic she encountered there and will show us some of her textiles that she brought home.
