Braidwood Quilters Country Luncheon The country luncheon will be held on 4th July 2012, commencing at 10.30 with morning tea in the National Theatre Wallace Street Braidwood $25 per head includes morning tea and lunch ***************************** Our guest speaker is Eilleen Hayley Eileen Haley is a Sydney-based quilter, creative writer and public servant. Her quilt 'Dancing Women (Ireland)' received the award of 'Judge's favourite for no judgeable reason' at the Braidwood Quilt Event 2010. Her poem sequence Full Circle was launched during 'Women, Writing and Ideas' at Braidwood in 2007. Eileen believes that quilting is right up there with knitting as a magic craft, an expression of women's creative, transformative, comforting and blessing powers. She is proud to continue in a tradition enriched by many generations of (mainly) women, and which includes:
suiting samples and other such during the depression times of the 1890s and 1920s;
patchworks during the Pinochet regime; and
making things of beauty in communities that were brutally oppressed by racism. ***************************** For luncheon bookings and information: Contact Jan Phone 0428 771 137 or |
