Celebrating 40 years of quilting, the Queensland Quilters are bringing an extraordinary quilt display and visitors will be able to hear from quilting artists and be in to win an award-winning quilt.
There will be ‘Make and Take’ sessions and workshops where visitors can learn the art of Tataki-zome hammering flowers to print fabrics, make a Japanese Stitched Blessing Semamori brooch, create a dilly bag, learn pattern fitting, learn to create a family recipe journal and a raffia and fabric basket and much more.
