patchwork and quilting without the need of a sewing machine
About the event
Laois Quilters Ethelda Ellis, Annette Doolan and Caroline Delany will be joined by other members of the group to spark interest in Patchwork and Quilting by demonstrating how articles can be made without a sewing machine.
Young and old will be shown different techniques of making and quilting articles. Members will bring fabrics, threads and notions for visitors to use to make something to bring home with them. Examples and Quilts made by the group will be on display to be discussed with those who are interested.

Additional information
“Laois Quilters is a group that was founded in 2018 to promote patchwork and quilting in the Midlands of Ireland. We meet monthly in Portlaoise to sew together and help and encourage one another to make traditional as well as art quilts. By organising an annual exhibition of quilts in the Library of Mountmellick, we promote quilts as a visual art. The members also make a group quilt biennially that is raffled to raise money for a chosen local charity.”
