2022 Show

The 2022 show was held in the Hunters Hill Town Hall, Alexandra Street, Hunters Hill from Thursday 4th August until Sunday 7th August. This was our 19th Biennial Quilt Show.

Continuing with our tradition, our show is a juried show. Judged, not by the 'quilt police', but by a judge who acknowledges 'what they like'. Our Judge this year was local celebrity, Roseanna Gallo OAM

We decided to support two charities - both deserving and touch the hearts of all women: essentially, supporting girls and women in times of need:

Days for Girls "Days for Girls Australia is a registered Australian not for profit and is a Country Affiliate with Days for Girls International. Volunteers across Australia mobilize to increase access to menstrual products and vital health information for women and girls around the world."

Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women's Shelter who provide support for women experiencing domestic violence and homelessness through crisis accommodation and outreach services in the community.
