2018 Biennial Quilt Show

Seven days to go before the 2018 MACG Quilt Show. Traders have been organised, raffle tickets are selling, and quilts have been entered. We will have over 110 quilts on display ranging from really big quilts to tiny quilts. None have been on display in Maleny before. Check out the challenge quilts. Each member received an envelope containing a colour. Their mission if they chose to accept it was to find a song title containing their colour. They were then tasked with making a quilt to represent the chosen song. The only criteria was the quilt needed to be a 15 inch square finished with at least 50% of the quilt using the given colour. This could include many shades and hues of the colour. The other criteria was to have fun and not to stress. The Quilt Show will be open Saturday 29th September from 9am – 4pm and Sunday 30th September from 9am-3pm. The raffle will be drawn at 2pm on Sunday. Our first prize is a gorgeous queen size quilt in bold and bright colours made by members and quilted by Leonie Gittins. Second prize is a Bernette Sewing Machine valued at over $600 donated by Kimz Sewing and Patchwork Centre and Bernina Australia. Third prize is a Quilt Kit put together and donated by life member Pamela Doyle. Also buy some tickets in the bag pod. On display ready to win will be over 20 bags, tablerunners or cushions all handmade by members of the quilting group. The bag pod will be drawn after the raffle. Entry is $5.00 with a complimentary cup of tea or coffee. Cakes and slices will be available for purchase. See you there.
