Aspiring Quilters is a local community group of quilters, with varying skills from novices right through to experienced sewers. The group get together regularly and put their skills to good use in supporting local causes. Members of the group donate their time and resources to help produce beautifully crafted handmade quilts that are donated to Plunket, and gifted to parents with newborns as play quilts or cuddly covers. Quilts are also designed for all age groups and donated to the Cancer Society for patients to use during their hospital stays and recovery at home, providing them with a little bit of comfort when needed the most. The group have also just recently hosted their first wine and cheese evening meeting which was introduced to encourage new members with family and work commitments who may be unable to attend daytime meetings. “Meetings are a chance for like-minded crafty locals to
get together as a group and share tips, techniques and ideas with each other. Each member gains a sense of satisfaction from the beginning of the creative process through to the completion and gifting of a unique piece of work. The group meetings provide an opportunity to work on individual projects, donated quilts, and to take part in regular workshops to learn new quilting techniques and improve skills”, said President, Sara Tither.
