Information on material requirements will be available when you sign up.  Comfort Quilts will provide a few ‘quilt kits’ which can be used for this workshop – please ask us.

There will be a “Free” table – the usual rules will apply. Bring what you’d like to see go to a new home, take whatever interests you and if any of your things aren’t claimed by the end of the day, take them home again.

DiAnne has been sewing almost all of her life, starting at 6 years old making a cape for her favourite doll.   When her daughter was young, she made clothes for both of them and made her first quilt using the left over fabrics.  Back in those days cereal box cardboard was used for templates and scissors did the cutting.  When rotary cutters and cutting mats came into existence the quilting world changed.

She has lost count of how many quilts she has made and still likes to take classes as there is always something new to learn.  DiAnne has had a long arm for the last 8 years and enjoys long arming for others now that she is no longer treasurer of the Guild.  After winning the sewing machine door prize at the last quilt show, she sold it and bought 5 sewing machines to teach her granddaughters to quilt to help use up her huge stash of fabric.  Two of the girls have finished their third quilts already.

DiAnne and Francesca Dawe are now co-chairs of the Comfort Quilt program and look forward to working with everyone to keep this charitable component of the Guild functioning smoothly
