Small Japanese Projects meeting 24 July - change of venue

The convener of the Small Japanese Projects meeting, Wendy, has advised of a change of venue for next week's meeting only. This means that the Canberra Quilters' room will not open for drop-in until 1 pm.

Here is the message from Wendy:

Hi everyone

Wintry weather means a little shopping would be good to cheer us up. So we are NOT meeting at Cook this month. We are meeting at Addicted to Fabric, 25 Dundas Ct, Phillip, at the usual start time of 10 am.

We want to explore modern  Japanese fabrics. They are very different to the ones we normally use for quilting. Great inspiration for small items suitable for presents for friends, nieces and granddaughters.

To start you thinking, here are some sites using modern Japanese fabrics:

Addicted to Fabric is a long-term sponsor of Canberra Quilters. They give Canberra Quilters a 10% discount, so bring your membership card. And it's also a great shop, with inspirational classes and fabrics.

Come along prepared to review your ideas of 'Japanese' fabrics. Afterwards, we will adjourn for coffee to a Bite to Eat in Chifley.

It's going to be fun!
