Airing of the Quilts 1998
Braidwood, with its historical country town presence, offered a weekend of quilting activities including a spectacular Airing of the Quilts. A couple of us Literary Guild girls decided to make the pilgrimage. Braidwood is "close" to Canberra but from Sydney it would be quite a long day trip.
The organisers did a great job and we certainly had little trouble putting in a whole day. Better still, we could surround ourselves with quilts, enjoy a day without adding to our UFO box yet find some wonderful craft shops & galleries, including a very, very busy patchwork shop! Who wouldn't want to come to Braidwood again...
This summer quilt celebration has been on our "Wish List" calendars since 1995. Braidwood is a heritage listed town and lovely to visit at any time. To find current information about this event check Braidwood Quilters on their Facebook page.
I will most certainly have photos to scan but where they are located is now the question. Until then, this post rounds out a busy 1998. On another end of year note, and in the blink of an eye, 2014 is upon us. So I wish you all the best for this new year and "may all your quilt seams line up precisely"!
