Quilt and craft show a drawcard in Bunyip
The 14th annual Hillview Aged Care Quilt and Craft Show will be held in Bunyip from Friday, August 24 to Sunday, August 26.
This three-day exhibition has been a major annual social drawcard in Bunyip since its inception.
“People love to come along, look and marvel at the intricate workmanship involved in making a quilt,” said organiser Barbara Dickinson. “Friendships have been formed and people keep coming back each year to catch up and renew their friendships over delicious Devonshire tea with freshly baked scones, strawberry jam and cream.”
Quilts will be judged with prizes awarded for outstanding exhibits.
People wishing to display their quilts are welcome to do so.
“All of the proceeds from the exhibition will go to Hillview Bunyip Aged Care to provide equipment to enhance the lives of the residents and lighten the workload for staff,” added Ms Dickinson. “Since we started, we have raised in excess of $70,000.”
A raffle prize of a beautifully made quilt by Mrs Dickinson will be drawn during the exhibition. The queen-size quilt is valued at about $1500.
The quilt and craft show will be held from 9.30am to 3pm each day with a fabric and craft table on offer and Bunyip Men’s Shed conducting a garage sale and sausage sizzle.
The show will be held at Hillview Aged Care at 22 A’Beckett Rd, Bunyip.
