Queanbeyan Quilters Inc

About Us

Queanbeyan Quilters began in 1984 when a small group of enthusiastic needlewomen got together for friendship and to share sewing skills.

Now a group of around 50 members, including a couple of enthusiastic juniors, Queanbeyan Quilters meet regularly to stitch, share ideas and skills, and enjoy an environment of mutual support and encouragement.

Our patchwork and quilting styles and preferences range from traditional through to modern. Some members are beginners, some are experts, some teach, but all of us learn from each other.

New members and visitors of all ages and gender are always welcome.
