Enthusiastic groups assembled in the north and south. The southern gathering was dominated by lots of Challenge pieces being handed in for their slow trip around some of the libraries in Tasmania.
Meanwhile, internationally recognised quilter and piecer Lynne Hargreaves led the Northern Group in a workshop to create using “wash-away” stabliser fabrics. Three types were demonstrated and used in conjunction with machine stitching, with members learning how to confidently create confetti fabric, a free-standing vessel using wool roving, small objects and additional textile pieces and lastly reinforced motifs which could be further stitched, moulded, embellished and incorporated into 3D structures if desired.
