It was a pleased and releaved group of ladies who finished the bag sewing educational in the CWA (October 26-27 2024) sponsored by CASP and organised by the Murrurundi Museum.

The two-day tutorial was run by Tamworthian Donna Carr of the Stitch 2340 Tamworth.

The ladies made a project bag from modern and vintage fabrics as well as vintage doylies and trims, mastered Suffolk puff and freestyle fabric placing.

Everyone reportedly thoroughly enjoyed the class — thank you Donna.

Museum

Our museum, the Literary Institute building at 127 Mayne Street opposite the Bowling Club, was opened in the early 1980s and has been operating every weekend since then. Entry is free or donation and is open most weekends from 10:00 to 12:00 or by appointment ringing Jenny on 0418 647 176.
Church hall

Alongside the museum is the old Presbyterian church hall (colloquially named God's Waiting Room) which the museum uses as an exhibition centre. This building is typical of the wooden church buildings in the late 1800s with its picturesque setting and sloping floor.
Pioneers

Our Pioneer Cottage was bought in from a farm near Crawney Pass and re-erected alongside the Take-a-Break cafe in late 1999. the real thing, all the objects used by the pioneer family are enclosed with the cottage itself Murrurundi's biggest tourist attraction.
