Members usually work on their own projects, while sharing resources and knowledge with one another. We also share a short Christian devotional called Patchwords. The ladies who attend look forward to meeting each fortnight. We're a caring group who enjoy helping one another. When life gets busy, having a definite time set aside each fortnight also helps members progress with their projects.

One special memory for the group was the time we made a quilt for a family who had lost their home in the 2003 Canberra bushfires. Another time the group made quilts for some children who had recently lost their mother to cancer.

Come and try patchwork... you may find it's the craft for you!
