The Beast
Kay has finally finished the King log cabin that she has been making for her son for Ben & Becca. It has taken 18 months from start to finish, as she had to stop with the handquilting through summer because it was way too hot to handle. Kay sandwiched it with wool wadding, and backed it with polar fleece.
It looks fabulous Kay

Wee Waa & District Quilters Bi-Annual Quilt Show
Dear Patchworkers & Quilters,
Have you been stitching?
We hope so because the Wee Waa & District Bi-Annual Quilt Show is on again and we are asking for your help.
We are looking for things to display- quilts, table runners, cushions, potholders, anything that might be a piece of patchwork or quilting made since 2007 or not previously hung in the Wee Waa & District Quilt Show.
The event has been scheduled for Friday 18th and Saturday 19th of September in the grounds of The Little House on Rose, Wee Waa. Once again Wendy Knight of the Patchwork Shed will be running a stall and the Wee Waa
Hospital Auxiliary will have refreshments available.
With all proceeds going to the Wee Waa Hospital Auxiliary it is your
contribution to the display that makes this event a great success. So please, send out the word to your friends and family, finish those WIPs and UFOs so we can hang them in the Wee Waa & District Quilters Bi-Annual Quilt Show.
Entry information will be available closer to the date.
If you have any questions in the meantime please feel free to contact Sue, Gladys or Jo.
Happy quilting

Quilts on the Double - 9th & 10th May
In conjunction with the Cotton Fibre Expo Judy Hooworth is offering a two day workshop called Quilts on the Double.
It will be held in the ACE rooms at Narrabri (old electoral office) with a cost of $125 of which there is a non-refundable $50 deposit. (returned if the class is cancelled).
Registration and payment can be made at the Patchwork Shed no later than April 17th. The class numbers are limited to 15.
Quilts On The Double
Explore the possibilities of maked two totally different quilts from one set of simple cutting and sewing!
You will begin with some easy strip piecing, then make some diagonal cuts to give you two sets of triangles. After this start, the fun begins as you arrange these triangles to make two quilts. You will see how to create different patterns by arranging the triangles in different ways, and the amazing possibilities thast can result. You will enjoy discovering alternative designs to find the ones that work best foryour set of fabrics.
There are many, many possibilities for each quilt, and the designs work especially well with striped fabrics as all kinds of Log Cabin style patterns can be made.
There there is more!
A third set of leftover triangles may be used to make a bonus small quilt.
The basis of the quilts is groups of fat quarters or fat eighths. This class can help you use up some of your stash!
