Friday Showcase featuring Lynn Hewitt - Friday 7 May 2021

We are pleased that Friday Showcase has returned for 2021. Our first event will be held on Friday 7 May and will feature Lynn Hewitt.

In 30 years, Lynn Hewitt has made many quilts, and she enjoys doing workshops, learning new techniques and developing new skills. After a workshop, she often wonders what if she might make it again in another colour, or a different size or shape.

 At the May Friday Showcase, Lynn plans to show several quilts which have resulted after " What if?", as well as her very first quilt, and her latest, a modern quilt.

Friday Showcase will be held again this year at the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (SMSA) in the Auditorium on Level 1. Doors will open at 10.45 am for an 11 am start (note this is one hour later than previously) and numbers will be limited to 60 people.

Bookings are essential and payment is required at the time of booking. 

 
We recommend you bring a mask to wear when looking at the quilts at the end of the presentation. 

Refreshments will not be available in the office before or after Friday Showcase due to the reduced office capacity (currently 10 persons). However, there is a cafe at street level.   

When: Friday 7 May, 10.45 for 11 am start
Where:  Level 1, Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts, 280 Pitt Street Sydney
Cost: $5 for QuiltNSW members, $10 for non-members
Bookings: Essential, book and pay here, maximum 60 people

Pop-Up Sewing Day: 17 April at Stitched 'n' Framed, Port Macquarie

One of the many advantages of being a QuiltNSW member is the opportunity to attend Pop-Up Sewing Days at venues throughout NSW.

The next Pop-Up Sewing Day is on 17 April at Stitched 'n' Framed, Port Macquarie.

The Mid North Coast of New South Wales has been devastated by recent flooding. By coincidence the next Pop Up Sewing Day will be held at Port Macquarie, which was one of the badly affected areas, on Saturday April 17. To support the area, why not “Pop Up” in Port Macquarie for the day at Stitched ‘n’ Framed 18/14 Acacia Avenue, 9.30 am to 1.30 pm, there are still spaces available and they would appreciate your attendance.

Remember this day is FREE for QuiltNSW members to attend and you only have to bring your sewing, either hand or machine and a mug for morning tea which will provided by Jenny and her team at Stitched ‘n’ Framed.  You can bring some lunch if you wish. 

There is ample parking outside the shop at the front and on the opposite side of the road.  Hope to see you soon.
