COFFS Quilters and Needlecraft (CQ&N) group is holding its Zone Day on 20 November from 9am-11.30am at Cavanbah Hall.
“Zone Day is when our group invites like-minded groups and interested parties to join us to share ideas mainly in quilting and for friendship,” CQ&N spokesperson Shirley Rose told News Of The Area.
Guest speaker is quilter, pattern designer and teacher Barbie Mitchell, an enthusiastic lover of all things handmade.
There will be a show and tell where members and attendees can inspect and talk about the quilts as well as a display of CHQ&N members’ work.
“There will be a raffle and lucky door prizes plus a puzzle of identifying small samples of embroidery.”
Registration is required for morning tea catering purposes.

CQ&N recently held a well-attended quilt show where CQ&N members displayed a wide and varied range of work.
“There was so much beautiful work on display and many wonderful comments made by those who visited the show.”
The People’s Choice went to Marge Wallen for her quilt named ‘Joan of Arc’.
“This was a beautiful quilt with many minute pieces,” Ms Rose said.
A beautiful quilt made by Belinda Saxby was the first prize in the raffle, with the winner saying she was thrilled because it was so lovely.
