The biennial quilt show for Waverley Patchworkers is happening this year on 1 and 2 June, 2024. This year’s show will display work produced by members of Waverley Patchworkers which include quilts, art quilts and special displays. Along with the quilt displays, there will also be an exhibition of challenge quilts with the theme being Anything Goes, with a Touch of the Blues.
Waverley Patchworkers is renowned for putting on an amazing display of quilts and there is nothing quite like viewing marvellous quilts, in the company of like-minded people. This show is for everyone; traditional and modern, first-time quilters, artists, crafters, locals or those from yonder. All are welcome.
As well as the quilt displays there will be demonstrations, a merchant mall and a café, where they will be serving delightful homemade goodies, with tea and coffee, for your morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. So, linger a while and enjoy your day.

Jo will be bringing her beautiful popup shop to our quilt show. Jo has many wonderful products on her website including curated fabric packs, with a statement feature fat quarter, then a palette built around 16 co-ordinating fabrics that pair with it. Sometimes it is a palette of one colour, sometimes it is a palette that is predominantly from one designer. Sometimes it is a cacophony of colour, from a lot of different designers.
