Art Union Quilt and visitors from the Gold Coast

The recipients of the proceeds from our 2013 Art Union Quilt will be The Royal Bull's Head Inn, Toowoomba Branch of the Queensland National Trust.  Yesterday Stephanie, a member of the Toowoomba Branch, spoke to our sewing group to explain how they will use the funds.

 

The theme of our Exhibition this year is Time for Tea and Quilts and a few of the mini-quilts that members are making to decorate the venue in keeping with this theme are visible in the background of the above photo.

The Royal Bull's Head Inn  is open on the first Sunday of each month.  Our 2013 Art Union Quilt  will be on display until September and tickets will be available at the Inn.

2013 Art Union Quilt

Last Thursday a group from the Gold Coast Quilters Club visited  a very chilly Toowoomba as part of a three-day coach trip visiting place of quilting interest in SE Queensland.  As our meeting rooms are not available to us on Thursdays,  Marilyn K kindly offered the use of her premises for a "meet and greet" over a light lunch. It was a fun and very sociable few hours. The Gold Coast visitors were delighted to share their "Show & Tell" while Lyle and Fay displayed same of the Community Quilts that have recently been completed by our Community Quilting Interest Group.
