24.01.2022 One week to register your quilt entries for the 25th Quilt Event.

23.01.2022 I bought this hexi quilt to cut up to make some cushions but then I discovered the inscription on the back '"Lola's Pieces" hand sewn for Carol Muyt by Von Miln...es 1986'. There are over 1000 hexagons lovingly collected and hand stitched together. I've tried to research the names but haven't had any luck...I'm thinking the fabric may have been from a child's or a beloved sister's clothes? I have just found the perfect home for her with a collector who will cherish and preserve her...so happy #vintagehexies #hexiquilt See more

16.01.2022 Quilts Stolen: There was a robbery at the Rotary Youth Hall in Wauchope last Saturday night (28th September) when the locked storeroom of the Wauchope Patchwork... Quilters (WPQ) was broken into and along with other equipment, 15 QUILTS were stolen. These quilts had been made by members of WPQ for the Palliative Care Ward of the Wauchope Hospital where every patient has a quilt placed on their bed to help make their last few days a little more homely. If you hear of anyone having recently received or been offered a quilt, or see them being sold at Markets etc, please advise Port Police on 65830199 or WPQ on 0418 218 784. Also,one of our members, who was unable to carry her Janome sewing machine to quilting each week due to recent shoulder surgery left her machine in the storeroom and it was also stolen.......and WPQ members had been slipping the odd coin or note in a money box to help support an under-privileged residential school in the back blocks of Bali - this was also stolen! Someone has to know something - you can't dispose of 15 quilts without it being seen. Google Wauchope Patchwork Quilters to see some of our masterpieces that are similar to the quilts stolen. The quilts in the following photos are not the exact same quilts that were stolen but the stolen ones would be very similar - colourful, mainly geometric, around about 150cm x 170cm (60" x 68") in size. They all had a label stating they were made by Wauchope Patchwork Quilters but I suppose they would be removed. See more

12.01.2022 Did you know the AIDS quilt was born in San Francisco in 1985, four years after the disease was discovered? People created a panel for someone they knew who die...d of the disease. Today, it includes 105,000 names and weighs 55 tonnes! A new panel is added every single day. Listen to the interview with President and CEO of the Names Project/AIDS Quilt, Julie Rhoad via the link. https://www.kxl.com/aids-quilt-update/

06.01.2022 Trigger warning 'The Monument Quilt' displayed thousands of stories from survivors of sexual assault and was on display in its entirety at the National Mal...l in Washington D.C 31 May to 2 June. The quilt is a collection of over 3,000 stories by survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence and allies, written, painted, and stitched onto red fabric. The stories blanket highly public, outdoor places to create and demand space to heal, and resist a singular narrative about sexual violence.
