ABC radio Brisbane loves hearing about ideas from QSWFA to keep kids’ creative hands busy while getting ready for Christmas and setting the table for a festive meal. They invited Michelle for an interview yesterday morning to give a few quick and easy, no skills required, make at home, decorations……
Weaver’s Interest Group is a bit different from some of the other groups at QSWFA. After all, it’s difficult to cart your floor loom into a meeting! The monthly meeting (1st Wednesday at 10 am) is more of a study or discussion group than a crafting session. Each month we discuss a specific topic and bring examples that we have woven. We also have ‘show and tell’ for our recently completed projects.
At the November 2021 meeting, the topic was wearable handwoven clothing. Members brought in some lovely garments and wraps – some beautifully tailored, and others with minimal construction but nonetheless stunning.
Join us on Sunday 24 October to hunt for treasure. You never know what you’ll find! Second hand equipment will be available. And, of course, the Emporium will be open to help enlarge your stash.
Come to buy, or book a table for $20. More info here.
