The Wicklow Patchwork Group first met in the spring of 2014 and has been meeting every month since. Today, we have 150 members largely from the Wicklow, South Dublin and Wexford areas. We meet in a friendly atmosphere on the third Saturday of each month, including the summer months, in the Community Centre in Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow.      We hold sit & sew evenings by Zoom during the year.

We are a group of likeminded people whose aim is to share our love of patchwork and quilting among ourselves and with others. We welcome members of all standards, from the interested beginner to those who have years of experience and are more than happy and willing to share their knowledge and wisdom with al

At our meetings we have guest speakers and demonstrations done by our members. We also hold regular workshops for members to improve their skills and learn new techniques.
