A couple of weeks ago I taught one of my newer classes ‘Ideas into quilts’ to a small but enthusiastic group at Coleambally. Each participant was able to develop a piece of original work from scratch. Participants received tuition on composition, colour and design. Some of the girls had never made a quilt before, never mind an ‘art quilt’. Different techniques were adopted to get their individual ideas into quilts. Well done girls.

Thankyou Georgia Hando for taking the photos.
