Saturday at the Quilt Show Quilt Show 2018 Award Winners Sunday at the Quilt Show Quilt Show results Special offer for new members
Every two years the members of Waverley Patchworkers showcase their recent work. It is a highly regarded show, with visitors attending from all across Melbourne and regional Victoria. As well as the exhibition of quilts, there is the Birds of a Feather Flock Together challenge, special displays and demonstrations and a merchants mall. Our homemade goodies in the kitchen have developed a reputation of their own, making an extended stay very pleasant.
