QCWA Piecemakers

We are a patchwork group within QCWA.  There is no competition other than a challenge for display at the State Conference each year. Our aim is to promote friendship and learning among members and the community.  Each region is represented by three members who form the State Committee. Each Division has a Piecemakers contact who liaises with Branch and Division patchwork groups. These groups support their local communities with quilts made for raffles and other charities.

Each year the members of Piecemakers support a major charity. The last two years there have been several hundred wheelchair bags made for Granston Lodge in aid of patients with Multiple Sclerosis.  A previous project was turbans for cancer patients, with some members still making these.  We also provide an annual $500.00 bursary for a rural student at the Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE who is studying fashion design.

There are regular workshops held within Branches and Divisions around the State for members and non-members.  Quilt Shows are held at Regional Meetings and State Conference.
