The background colours of this month's newsletter is to pay tribute to all the wonderful Rural Fire Service
volunteers and others, who have over the last few months, or are currently trying to contain raging fires in
many states of Australia. We send them our deepest thanks and heartfelt hope for an end to the tragic
loss of human & animal life, and the destruction of natural landscapes, homes, & businesses.
From the President
Welcome back, I do hope your break has
recharged your creative thoughts, and that you
are looking forward to connecting with your
group.
Our house is looking very fresh thanks to the
painting bee on the 4th January. We had a good
turn out of members cleaning walls & painting the
new look kitchen, gallery, Hovea room, plus a
wall in the office.
We hope you like the new look kitchen which has
been updated for your use. New appliances the
microwave and dishwasher are simple to use.
Instructions for each are on the wall. Please
leave the kitchen in a tidy manner.
My first week has been an interesting one as President, conducting my first Management Committee
meeting, thanking my team for their great support. It’s lovely to see the different groups with smiles on
their faces, trickling back to their designated days.
I would like to sign off on a personal message asking all our member's going forward in 2020 that you
show respect, peace and harmony towards your fellow members in your groups.

workshop list. Please give this information to your Group Leader
and we will endeavour to work on your behalf making this request

Painting Bee
Thanks to all involved in the painting bee on the 4th January. The walls
were washed down ready to take the new coat of paint for the gallery,
office and Hovea room. And where would you find a bunch of people who
know how to wield a paintbrush in Wallace House ??
A big Thank You to: Gabi Dick, Cynthia Hicban, Sally Heron, Sandra
Acheson, Robert Harman, Lizzy Quayle, Manfred Schober, Vicki Bradbury,
Tricia Bradford, Domi Cohen, Russell Guppy and Jan Dungan. What a
great job!
Wallace House Kitchen
The kitchen has been renovated which started in mid December and was finished by the 21st. Now we
have new cabinets thanks to Mitchell Cabinetmakers and new appliances from Harvey Norman Noosaville
including a quality 90cms freestanding oven, microwave, sink, tap and dishwasher.
Special thanks to John Pritchard for volunteering for the plumbing work, and to Andrew Dick for
volunteering to install the splash back tiles and painting the kitchen with Gabi's guidance. Electrical work
was carried out by Paul Bateman from Coastal Sparks Electrical Company. Looking Good!!
"A Life in Patches"
You are invited to attend an exhibition by the Wallace House Quilters
"A Life in Patches" will be held at Noosa Regional Gallery from 31st
January - 8 March. It will be opened by Bob Abbott on Friday 31st January
6 - 8pm.
RSVP https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/official-exhibition-opening-a-life-in-
patches-tickets-86302949445
The Curator is Loani Prior and the Photographer is Mark Crocker
In this exhibition, the quilt is used as a catalyst for sharing the stories of
the women who made them, and the story of the vibrant community that is
the Wallace House Quilters.
Curator, Loani Prior, sat down to tea with 29 of the 55 strong membership and recorded those stories.
Mark Crocker photographed the women in their happy place, the rooms and verandahs of Wallace House.
And now, the Wallace House Quilters share their quilts and themselves with you.
You might remember Loani as the Queen of the Tea Cosies and author of four best-selling Tea Cosy
books. But in 2017, she went to the dark side and began playing with fabric and joined the Wallace House
Quilters. Soon enough, in their boisterous and creative company, Loani was imagining this exhibition, A
Life in Patches, modelled on a previous collaboration with photographer Mark Crocker; Portraits of a Tea
Cosy. (2013-2015 touring exhibition.)
Come! Stand in the midst of lives suspended in fabric. Listen to the whispers of mothers across the
generations. Touch the sadness at the death of a child and feel the force of special friendships. Every
single patchwork quilt - a celebration of life.
Artastic Sale 2020
The Fantastic Artastic Sale is on again!
A reminder to all 2D artists. The annual Artastic
Sale will be in its fourth year and becoming an
event that is recognised by the public. It also
makes money for NACA. It will be held this
Saturday and Sunday 18th and 19th January
from 9.30am – 4pm.
The Artastic sale has 21 enthusiastic participants at this stage and more are welcome. Artists may bring
as many 2D artworks as they like - the more the better. The weather looks as though it is going to be kind
to us and will be quite comfortable. Hanging is on Friday afternoon or 8am Saturday morning. All rooms
are available for us so there is room to spread out.
Please pay the $5 entry fee to either Jean or Tricia, clearly marked Artastic sale. All participants are
required to assist in restoring the galleries to their working condition on Sunday afternoon. With so many
of us there will be very little for each individual to do.
Sandy and her wonderful pop up cafe fairies have planned a delicious menu to include morning and
afternoon tea and lunch so you don't have to bring your own. And if it is the same quality as previously the
refreshments are just simply delicious.
