This June Somerset Patchwork is going on a sojourn to Brisbane

29th - 30th June
The exhibition 'Quilts 1700-1945' is on show at the Queensland Art Gallery

Would you like to join Karen and Sue on Saturday 29th June for a guided tour of these outstanding quilts and
visit the original 'Sundial Quilt' as shown above?
Other attractions at the gallery include 'The Rajah quilt' 1841, on loan from the National Gallery of Australia
and a selection of quilts from Ruth Stonely, a well known Brisbane quilter.
After visiting the gallery Saturday morning, there will be an afternoon and evening of stitching
followed by a full day of fun and activity on Sunday 30th June.
Karen and Sue will bring along their large collection of English style quilts for 'Show and Tell'
along with a sewing project for you to work on during the day on Sunday.
The cost of the weekend will be $250 -
this cost will cover entry to the Queensland Art Gallery with a guided tour Saturday morning,
stitching Saturday afternoon and evening with Karen and Sue.
