The biennial quilt show for Waverley Patchworkers is happening this year on 2-3 May 2026. 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.
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.
There is an $8 entry fee to the show. Look forward to seeing you there!

We ran the Lucky Dip Quilt Challenge in 2025 and would love to see everyone’s quilts on display at the Quilt Show.
This quilt challenge fun was a great way to spark creativity, connect with fellow quilting enthusiasts, and push your skills to new levels.
Those who participated in the challenge found inspiration, motivation, and the joy of being part of a vibrant, supportive community. Each month brought a fresh theme or technique to explore, encouraging you to experiment and express your unique style. Plus, seeing how others interpret the same prompt can be both educational and incredibly inspiring. It’s not just about making a quilt—it’s about sharing the journey.
