Arty School Kids

Fabric Origami by Miss Pearl & Her Cheeky Monkey

QUARC is pleased to announce that it is donating free market stalls to the local schools in the Borough to assist their fundraising efforts. These stalls will be run by the children themselves and will feature their beautiful hand-made arts and crafts.  Please support your local schools and come along and see just what your children can do!

YARN BOMBING IN QUEENSCLIFF

It has been a great week for knitters in the Borough and fun for all!  There has been lots of 'yarn bombing' around Queenscliff which has put a smile on everyone's face.   See the pictures below and have a smile yourself.

Celebrating Knit in Public Week June 9-17

Special Event 

Thursday June 14

Worm eating leaf   Felicity McKenzie

Not long now and all things knitting will be celebrated!  If you are in or around Queenscliff come down to McKenzie Ebbels (ME) Foodstore in Hobson St for an 'all you can knit session'.  Starting in the afternoon and continuing through to early evening you can sit by the fire in beautiful surrounds and knit to your heart's content with like-minded ladies. 

QUARC will be using this gorgeous intimate venue to conduct art and craft classes for small groups in the near future, providing tutorials as well as a place to just come and sew or knit for the evening with friends (and have a glass of wine of course!) at a small fee. We will keep you updated.  

 See you Thursday
