OVER 150 women attended the Kilmore Quilters Inc, Quilt, sit, and sew at the Soldiers Memorial Hall in Kilmore on Saturday.
“We usually sit around 100 participants,” said President Rhonda Coates.
“We had a fantastic day, 157 ladies through the door which is our best attendance ever.
“The ladies were entertained with lots of show and tell from members of the audience who brought their quilts to share and we had a great display of all the quilts that were entered into the Victorian Quilters showcase.”
In addition to a crafty day out, the audience heard from an inspirational guest speaker who spoke of her journey with mental health issues to now running her own very successful patchwork business.
Congratulations to Lorna Wiseman of Bendigo for winning ‘Collective Tidings’ and to Jenny Sleeman of Kilmore for winning the thread stand, while the lovely ladies at London Mart won the magnifying craft lamp.
“We would like to thank all those who assisted on the day and for the continued support of Wilson Partners Real Estate and London Mart,” Ms Coates said.
