Quilting

Patchwork and quilting are crafts that have so many different techniques that everyone can find a favourite. Only basic sewing skills and equipment are needed to begin with. We are a small, friendly group very willing to help each other. Perhaps you have a project already started that you need help with. If so, then join us.

In the coming year we have workshops planned by members of Tuesday group who have particular expertise in making patchwork jackets, or exploring how embroidery and crochet can be used in quilted articles. We’ll also have our summer outdoor joint quilting event and we are considering a trip in November to visit the Knitting and Sewing Show in Harrogate.

This stunning Autumn-themed quilt is our latest collaborative project. It was raffled to raise money for The Smile Train – our chosen charity for 2024. We are planning another for 2025 as well as creating a special u3a anniversary quilt for 2026.
