Those QCWA ladies are a crafty lot … and they’re very keen to pass on their skills!<\/p>\n

The QCWA’s Gympie – South Burnett Division held its biannual handcraft school in Murgon over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The 22 women in attendance had the opportunity of learning five crafts – Deerfield embroidery, gold work, wood burning, dimensional embroidery and knitted coin purse – all passed on by QCWA members who have earned a teacher’s badge.<\/p>\n

Three of the teachers came from Cedar Pocket branch, including 91-year-old Dorothy Woodgate who was teaching dimensional embroidery (known as “corn pad” embroidery, because it uses, well, corn pads …)<\/p>\n

Local members Lois Thurecht, from Elgin Vale branch, and Gwen Olm (Wondai) also shared skills (gold work and wood burning).<\/p>\n

Lois, who is president of the Division’s \u00a0handcraft and cultural committee, said members travelled from all over the South Burnett for the school, and five also came across from Nambour.<\/p>\n

The Division runs two handcraft schools every year, one in April and one in November. And they’re not just for the QCWA – members of the public are welcome to come along, too.<\/p>\n
