[Oceanwavequilters] Quilt Blocks for Australia

[Sharon Lau]

The Quilt Guilds of the North Quarter is asking us to participate in a project to make quilt blocks for the Wollongong Modern Quilt Guild in Jamberoo, New South Wales.




They are asking for tree blocks. From their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WollongongModernQuiltGuild): "The tree is a symbol of growth and nourishment. A tree symbolizes the generations of a family; a tree sprouts from a seed, the roots provide strength and stability, and whilst the new sapling is young and vulnerable they are protected by the other trees until they grow and flourish. In time the branches spread and then create new fruit that gives life to the next generation.  There is no restriction to one type of tree block. We would love our quilts to be beautiful and diverse just like our wonderful communities."  You can see some examples on their facebook page.





If you would like to help, please make a tree block of a generous 12.5 inch square using a white or pale grey background. You may use any technique for the block - pieced, appliqued, embroidered.



Deadline to get the blocks to me is the February 9th OWQ meeting. I will then send them off to Yvonne Phenecie, who has kindly offered to collect them and send them to Australia.
