Les filles du mardi

The Tuesday Girls (Les filles du mardi) is a group of quilters who meet two to three times a month, on Tuesdays, of course, for the pleasure of sewing together as friends and enjoying pastries.Their combined quilting experience totals over 480 years, but they’ve chosen not to share their individual ages! They are unconditional fans of quilts, vintage fabrics, and sewing accessories.As you’ll notice in their exhibited works, they create pieces that reflect traditional styles using equally traditional techniques, while still showcasing each member’s personal tastes.

For the Joy of Friendly Sewing brings together a broad collection of works from nine different makers. Les Filles du Mardi utilise traditional patterns, develop their own patterns inspired by antique and vintage quilts or start from scratch designing their own pieces that have their roots in the old traditions. Most members of the Tuesday Girls have selected one, two or several of their favourite works for display. All members of the group have collaborated to evolve and make the Tuesday’s Child quilt especially for this exhibition. Makers: Bev Bannard, Jenny Bear, Anne Burrows, Deborah Burville, Ros Devine, Lisa Kerr, Fiona Lindsay, Lou Lott, Ingrid Moyle, Dianne O’Brien, Janet O’Dell, Dorothy Ramage and Michelle Yeo. 2.13.0.0 2.13.0.0
