There is nothing quite like the art of quilting to bring people together. For 20 years the Ballina Coastal Quilters have gathered at Northlakes Community Centre to share their love for the art and craft of stitching. Some mebers still quilt by hand, while others have embraced new forms of stitching and working with fabric. As well as sharing knowledge and skills, it's a social gathering where members get together for a cup of tea and a chat.
