A NEW exhibition is celebrating quiltmaking teacher and artisan Denise Marshall.
Wedderburn Patchwork Group’s exhibition at the Coach House Gallery will run for more than two months and president Elizabeth Steinki said members were busily finalising works ahead of next Wednesday’s opening,.
“The exhibition is a celebration of Denise - her teaching, the classes she ran and the people who were part of those classes,” Elizabeth said.,
“A number of quilts Denise had been unable to complete were given to our group by her family and have been finished by our members. These will be displayed with quilts made by participants in Denise’s classes.”
Elizabeth said Denise’s completed works in the Celebration of Quilting Together exhibition would be available for sale.
“Denise was a fine artist, quilt maker and teacher of patchwork. The exhibition honours Denise’s contribution to patchwork in Wedderburn.
“The proceeds of the sale of her works will be donated to the Stroke Foundation,” she said,.
And after two years of limited activities, the group has a busy second half of 2022 with a quilt display being organised by the Wedderburn Historical Engine and Machinery Society rally next month and members organising the Wedderburn Community Christmas and Arts Festival in December.
