At the drop-in on the first Wednesday of the month the group explores working with pre-cut fabric.
These take many forms, including the jelly-rolls, layer cakes, honey buns and dessert rolls by Moda fabrics. Other manufacturers and fabric stores have variations on these - charm squares in different sizes, strips etc.
You don't have to buy pre-cuts, you can cut your own or just use scraps.
The pre-cuts drop-in runs from 10 am until 1 pm, then regular drop-in from 1 pm until 4 pm. Some of us are using the space of the CQ room to work on our exhibition quilt at the drop-in.

Views of Canberra Quilters' Headquarters
Below are some images of our new meeting and adminstrative space at Cook. It doesn't have any furniture in it yet but you can see what the fitted-out space looks like.
View to entrance from western wall. Note power cords looped to the ceiling- this will be a much safer option during working bees and workshops.
View to NE from western(storage room wall). Good natural light from those north-facing windows.
Facing west towards the storage rooms.
Cup of tea, anyone? We have tea & coffee-making facilities within our space. There will be a bar fridge below the bench. There is a full kitchen, which we share with the other tenants, elsewhere in the building.
Storage space for all our exhibition paraphenalia, workshop equipment and QFO supplies.
Stay tuned for more info - we are having an "at home" afternoon on 31 August, 2-7pm. All members welcome.
