Canterbury Patchwork and Quilting Guild

Work is progressing well at the workstations, with some impressive pieces coming together in today's Alice's Wonderland sew-along monthly workshop.

On Saturday 6 June at the St John’s Anglican Church monthly market, cnr of Church street and High Street, Rangiora, between 9.30am and 1pm, the North Canterbury Patchwork Group will be selling the rest of a huge stash of quality fabric from Heather Boyd. They will be accepting CASH ONLY.

Their stall will be found in the St Johns Church Hall.

Join us for a heritage talk and community stitching event! 🧵

At this free talk, the Ashburton Family History Group will share their years of research on the Mid Canterbury suffragettes, and add local context to this pivotal moment in time.

During this talk, we will also be running a community stitching event! Add a stitch to the textile artwork that is being created to celebrate our suffragettes by the Ashburton Embroiderers' Guild to support the Association of New Zealand Embroiderers’ Guilds Inc and Canterbury Suffrage Stitchers.
